Goal

Interpeace’s Programme in Guinea Bissau, implemented with its local partner Voz di Paz, aims to foster a more inclusive and trusted social contract for a peaceful society. The programme is built on three key pillars guiding its activities: Inclusive Basic Services, by improving access to quality services through better coordination and a shared understanding of barriers and solutions; Conflict Prevention & Management, by strengthening local conflict prevention and resolution through effective policies and capacity building; and Accountability, by fostering citizen engagement, institutional responsiveness, and dialogue, with a particular focus on youth participation.

Latest Highlights

Interpeace partners with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to improve health sector governance through dialogue and collaboration between authorities, health professionals, and citizens. Interpeace also works with youth organisations to review the 2015 National Youth Policy and support youth-led advocacy at the national and regional levels. Interpeace also promotes peaceful land governance by supporting inclusive and intergenerational dialogue.

In 2024, Interpeace and its partners engaged 4,784 people across its four main projects, including 2,342 women and 943 youth. This involved supporting 14 local peace infrastructures that addressed a total of 367 conflicts. All four projects entailed working with security actors, and Interpeace supported 17 activities with this target group.
