The Women and Peace Building programme acknowledges and appreciates the fact that even though women play a major role in peace building, their participation at high level decision making processes, in some countries around Africa, has remained low.
It also acknowledges the fact that much as the cost of most conflicts is bone by women and children, they are key stakeholders in peace building and are in a position to create long term sustainable peace. This programme raises awareness and builds the capacity of Christian and Muslim women in Africa on matters of women in peace building.
This programme is implemented in three levels, namely:
- Level 1: Women leaders
- Level 2: Women Community Forums
- Level 3: Mentorship of the girl child
