Civil Society Policy and Advocacy Program (CSPAP)
The Civil Society Policy and Advocacy Program strive
to develop a West Africa Action Agenda for the Prevention of Violent
Conflicts, create a civil society platform for advocacy for conflict
prevention and good governance, and increase collaboration and
networking with CSOs at continental level. The program will also serve
as the focal point for the partnership between the European Centre for
Conflict Prevention (ECCP) and WANEP under the
Global Partnership for the
Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC). Objectives:
WANEP through its thematic programs such as the
Capacity Building Program, Women in Peace Building Program, Active
Non-Violence Peace Education, and Early Warning and Early Response has
built the capacity of civil society on conflict prevention and
peacebuilding. This initiative has produced a pool of knowledge and
skills for peacebuilding across West Africa. However, the knowledge
acquired need to permeate the decision making structures. WANEP plans to
strengthen the capacity of CSOs to articulate their views and also
engage their policy makers in matters of great concern to peacebuilding.
WANEP therefore intends to maximize the effective use of its expertise
to mobilize CSOs, NGOs and CBOs (Community-Based Organizations) at
national level working in various thematic areas such as human rights,
gender, youth, chieftaincy, conflict prevention, small arms, election,
good governance, media, and religion to form national forums for
conflict prevention. The efforts of the Civil Society Policy and
Advocacy Program in the next year will be channelled to facilitate that
multi-level collaboration. Expected Outputs
