Empowering African Nations Since 1981
Conflict Mitigation Program
Our Conflict Management Program has played an integral part in the development of African nations since 1981. We implement the Conflict Abatement through Local Mitigation Project in Nigeria that engages youth in the Delta, Kaduna, Kano, Plateau and Rivers States. The project seeks to prevent and reduce conflict by strengthening the capacity of Nigerian society to address the factors responsible for violent conflict by:
• Engaging youth
• Developing early warning systems
• Training local organizations in conflict management techniques
• Providing conflict management interventions in other states
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, under a grant funded by USAID-Kinshasa, we implemented a project that promoted community reintegration of children involved with armed conflict and other militia groups in Northern Katanga. We provided industrial skills training to former child soldiers and adult ex-combatants and reintroduced them back into their communities. Ex-combatants and their community members received training on how to resolve and manage conflicts.
