Yvonne Kemper

Yvonne Kemper is a specialist in children and youth in conflict contexts. She holds Masters Degrees in international affairs from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and in peace and security studies from the University of Hamburg. In her latest post as a Child Protection Advisor in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC), she was in charge of monitoring, reporting and denouncing the most grave human rights violations against children in North Katanga.

Ms. Kemper has a broad experience in devising guidelines, trainings and research studies on issues relating to conflict transformation, including children associated with fighting forces, socio-economic reintegration of ex-combatants, migration, small arms trade, and gender in post-conflict areas. Her most recent publications on “Youth in war-to-peace transitions” and on the EU’s approach towards children and armed conflict attest to her superb research and writing skills (studies available at www.berghof-center.org under Berghof reports and this website under “examples”).
