A core component of the African Peacebuilding Network, the research grants program is a vehicle for enhancing the quality and visibility of independent African peacebuilding research both regionally and globally, while making peacebuilding knowledge accessible to key policymakers and research centers of excellence in Africa and around the world. Grant recipients will produce research-based knowledge that is relevant to, and has a significant impact on, peacebuilding policy and practice on the continent. For its part, the African Peacebuilding Network will work toward inserting the evidence-based knowledge that this group produces into regional and global debates and policies focusing on peacebuilding.
