Annual Report 2001

Strategic Priorities 2002:
WANEP launches WAPI

The West Africa Network for Peacebuilding will launch a long-term Training Institute in 2002. With support from the Catholic Relief Services-West Afrcia Regional Office and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, WAPI will be lauched at a three-week intensive course beginning in September 2002. The primary goal of WAPI is to increase the number of competent, active peacebuilding practitioners in West Africa; thus, increasing the possibilities of achieving reconciled, just, and stable societies in the subregion. Such stable societies, it is assumed, serve as incentives for socio-economic development activities. With support from the Catholic Relief Services, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and other partners 40% of the participant in each of the three courses will be fully supported. These will be drawn from local and national organizations active in West and Central Africa.
