Job description

The Civil Peace Service (CPS) programme in West Africa “Promoting social cohesion and the peaceful use of natural resources in Niger and Benin” (2022-2027) aims at fostering social cohesion and a fairer, more peaceful and more sustainable use and governance of natural resources in the context of mobile pastoralists and the growing influence of violent extremist groups. In order to achieve this, the program focuses on the promotion of local dialogue structures aimed at preventing and transforming conflicts among land users and other key actors, as well as on strengthening and popularization of legal regulations and the representation of land producers interests. Moreover, CPS supports municipalities and regions in the implementation of governance schemes that allow for a significantly more peaceful, inclusive and sustainable use of natural resources by local land users. The CPS is a program for violence prevention, civil conflict transformation, and peacebuilding. In cooperation with civil society and government partners, the CPS program in Benin strengthens for example trust between conflict parties, supports the processing of violent pasts, and promotes inclusive civil society participation. Through dialogue and violence prevention measures, it also contributes reducing prejudice and stereotypes.
