Our Africa Program Associate recently wrote about the role of faith in peacebuilding and if you’re interested in the topic, we’re offering a chance to explore a facet of it in greater depth.

Next Tuesday, Search for Common Ground is hosting a discussion with the Washington Network on Children and Armed Conflict (WNCAC) on the Roles of Religious Communities in Protecting Children Affected by Armed Conflict.

Representatives from UNICEF and Religions for Peace will be presenting on the topic and speaking about their partnership to strengthen the engagement of religious communities and child protection actors to protect children affected by violence and conflict. The project aims to develop and strengthen the capacity of religious communities to protect children affected by conflict, as well as find ways for child protection actors and religious communities to work together effectively.
