The West African Network for Peace Building (WANEP) held a stakeholders consultation on peace and conflict analysis in The Gambia at the Ocean Bay Hotel, on April 17, 2018.
The Event was attended by P.S Mr. Bulli Dibba, UN peace and Development Advisor to the Gambia among many stakeholders who work both in the private and public sector.
The purpose of this initiative is to launch a project headed by the UNDPA and WANP in partnership with the Ministry of Interior to uphold the peace that The Gambia has maintained despite the recent challenges the country faced during the impasse.
The first phase of the project is to further understand the current situation in The Gambia, Identify what builds and how peace is built in The Gambia, and to identify how and when to strategically implement conflict prevention and peacebuilding programming countrywide.
There was emphasis by both the UN and the Ministry of Interior that The Gambia and Gambians take ownership of the initiative, as well as help identify what resources and tactics are already present and working, in order to build on those and help make this project a successful one.
