Peace & Security Program (PS)

We promote peace, security, and stability by contributing to the prevention of radicalization, violent extremism, jihadist threats, and terrorism in northern Ghana.
We achieve this by networking and building partnerships with state and non-state actors to empower communities and young people through awareness creation and training aimed at preventing violent extremism.
Our efforts focus on border towns, communities affected by chieftaincy and land disputes, as well as young people, including students, the unemployed, and minority groups such as Fulani herdsmen. These groups are targeted for sensitization and training on the prevention and reporting of early warning signals of radicalization, violent extremism, and terrorism.
Our program also includes interventions during and after terrorist incidents to support the development and recovery of affected areas.
