Description:
FERFAP is currently composed of peace movements and networks from 16 African countries, namely, Angola, Algeria, Burundi, Burkina Faso, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Liberia, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan and Zambia. FERFAP provides an important platform to advocate for gender-responsive approaches within the conflict resolution and peace-building agenda of the region. The formation of FERFAP is a major step in the evolution of African women's peace movements. Both the Federation and its member organizations require well coordinated support to enable them achieve their objectives.
Objective:
FERFAP calls for women's participation in conflict resolution at the highest levels of decision-making. The federation's main goal is to contribute to the coordination, rationalization and development of activities that support women's full and effective participation in conflict prevention, management and resolution in Africa.
Comments:
FERFAP is active in promoting women's contributions to decision-making processes for peace-building and conflict resolution in Burundi,Rwanda, Ethiopia and Eritrea. FERFAP also plans to collaborate with local institutions, national and international NGOs and governments, on the promotion and support of universal disarmament, adoption and implementation of international laws, conventions and agreements by African governments for the maintenance of peace.
