In the context of weak national governance and widespread instability, we’re still hard at work in the #Sahel. How? By focusing on grassroots #peacebuilding efforts of people who call this region home. 👉 Empowering vulnerable #youth 65% of the Sahel’s population are under 25. In their efforts to break free from the binds of poverty, many of them become easy 🎯 targets for extremist groups. 🔹 We provide youth with #leadership and conflict resolution training to channel their energy and ideas ↪️ towards peaceful solutions. 🔹 We also work with local authorities and security forces to identify at-risk youth early on and 🤲 reintegrate them into their communities. 👉 Building bridges and improving trust We established 🗣️ forums where local authorities, communities, and security and defence forces collaborate to solve common problems and peacefully resolve disputes, giving previously unheard groups a 📣 voice in local decision-making. 👉 Engaging women as peacebuilders We endorsed 👩🏾 women’s participation in #ConflictPrevention mechanisms and natural resource governance. Women now make up 21% of local land commissions members in certain areas where we work, up from zero. 💡 Here’s a powerful example: women mediators successfully secured the release of healthcare workers held by armed groups. It shows just how crucial women are to the #peace process. Our grassroots work focuses on preventing conflict escalation and promoting regional stability.
