Strengthening women's role in peace Our Strengthening womenâ€™s role in peace project  aims to facilitate the implementation and monitoring of the ANP at the local and provincial level. Focusing on Participation and Protection, the project will work with both men and women at the community level to create an enabling environment to promote womenâ€™s participation in decision-making processes and improve protection at the community level.  Capitalizing on the momentum generated at the local level, the project will support the establishment of a mechanism that facilitates womenâ€™s participation and allows for local needs and sensitivities to be incorporated in the implementation of the ANP and for these needs to be communicated to the provincial and the national level. 

We aim to build â€œbottom-upâ€ capacity for female community members, as well as male community members (whose buy-in is essential), to address barriers that restrict womenâ€™s , and less powerful menâ€™s, participation in decision-making processes, as well as their access to justice and security. We aim to work with communities and with, rather than against, cultural and religious norms to overcome barriers which prevent the meaningful improvement of womenâ€™s conditions.  

Working through a consortium of local and international expertise, the project will be implemented in the provinces of Herat (in the West), Baghlan (in the North), Laghman (in the East), Nangarhar (also in the East) and Kandahar (in the South) over a period of 36 months, with implementation beginning in Herat and Nangarhar, and the other three provinces following in the second stage. Overall Objective: To support more effective implementation and monitoring of the ANP at the provincial and local levels through the establishment of a mechanism that facilitates womenâ€™s participation and allows for local needs and sensitivities to be incorporated in its application and be communicated to the national level. 

Specific objectives 1:  To work with both men and women at the community level to create an enabling environment to promote womenâ€™s participation in decision-making processes and improve protection at the community level: both through the creation of the aforementioned mechanism and by working to change attitudes towards women through an Islamic-based approach. 

Specific Objective 2: To strengthen relationships between local, provincial and national levels to facilitate the effective implementation and monitoring of the ANP 

Specific Objective 3: To improve understanding of local NGOs, national actors and international community of the challenges and opportunities of promoting womenâ€™s participation in decision-making and their protection in Afghanistan. Women and men of Afghanistan

Strengthening the role of the formal and non-formal education in the prevention of violence against children in Lebanon (Safe to Learn) The projectâ€™s outcome is increased evidence base and capacity of schools and learning centres to reduce violence against children in areas with high concentration of refugees. It will be implemented with at least 3 schools and up to 9 learning centres, as well as online settings. 

The project will generate evidence through action research on effectiveness of approaches to addressing VAC, including school/centre-based (integrated NFE, protection and addressing VAC activities) and community-based approaches. Prevention and response will be strengthened through supporting schools/learning centres to improve their existing capacities through appreciative inquiry, training and accompaniment, integrated activities bringing together Syrian refugee and Lebanese children, and development of child safeguarding policies to inform the reporting of cases of VAC in schools. Social norms and behaviours will be shifted through strong parental engagement, peace education and community initiatives involving authorities, learning centres and members of the Lebanese and refugee communities.

The project will be implemented with the Centre for Lebanese Studies, which will engage with schools and partnersâ€™ through appreciative inquiry and training; Basmeh & Zeitooneh centres in Bar Elias (Bekaa), Nabaa and Chatilla (Beirut outskirts) and Tripoli (North); Sawa for Development and Aid 4 centres in Bar Elias and Damma and its centres in Ghazze and Al Marj (Bekaa). Action research will be conducted in the Bekaa to compare different approaches in the same area. The project will reach 850 children, 580 caregivers, 450 educators, 150 community members, 200 direct advocacy targets and a further 2000 people accessed through online dissemination.

Addressing the root causes and drivers of violent extremism in the Sahel-Maghreb region: an inclusive and holistic approach. By offering a more nuanced understanding of the complex conflict drivers that enable the increase of violent extremism (VE) in the Sahel region, built on locally-led analysis, this project will generate both valuable data on conflict dynamics and manageable recommendations to strengthen community resilience to conflict and recruitment of youth into violent groups as well as increasing capacities for countering violent extremism and peacebuilding. In Mali we will reduce youth vulnerabilities to radicalization including recruitment by armed groups through addressing underlying root causes of social and political marginalization by enhancing their conflict-management and leadership competencies and skills. The accompanying research will analyse and provide recommendations around youth marginalisation and consequent violence, especially VE, in nomadic/ semi-nomadic Peuls communities living across the Malian, Nigerien and Burkinabe’s borders. Youth in targeted regions emerge as local and regional leaders actively contributing to security governance by linking local peacebuilding initiatives to regional and national peace efforts. In Mali we will target young men and women aged 35 or under who remain marginalized, excluded, disenfranchised (including youth who’ve been detained by security forces), youth leaders who are politically or otherwise active (e.g. engaged in local auto-defence committees) as well as potential young leaders. The project will directly target 48 youth in three groups in Segou, Mopti and Timbuktu in training activities (including ToT) and 480 other youth through peer-to-peer and peacebuilding initiatives. At least 40% will be young women. 
The research will target male and female Peuls age thirty and under in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger (in particular in the Tilabery region).
