promoting a culture of peace
Youth Peace Champions Project

Youth Peace Champions - Transforming Lives, Securing Communities
This project provides a snap-shot of a unique tailor-made project in addressing conflict and livelihood challenges among young adult and youth groups in post-conflict communities in Uganda. The project desires to contribute towards stability in post-conflict communities. To realize the stability and progress towards peace, it aims at preventing re-radicalization in selected post-conflict communities in Uganda in a bid to prevent the targeted young adults from sliding back into acts of violence. This is done through the establishment of a team of young adult and youth peace champions who have become the change agents in their communities and who are leading in transforming the attitudes of their fellows in the community.
Target groups:
-
Youths (18–30 years) who have previously been involved in (armed) violence — ex-combatants, formerly abducted children, children born in captivity, children orphaned due to armed conflict, and ex-warriors.
-
Youths (18–30) who are engaged in peacebuilding and Connectors for Peace activities in their communities.
