Strategies

In implementing its programmes, FAS aims to focus on the human, rather than the military, dynamics of security. In a political environment where most international peacebuilding efforts are targeted towards governments and warring parties, FAS works to mobilize, support and recognize the everyday contributions of women and civil society towards establishing sustainable peace.

In partnering with grassroots women's organizations, FAS is committed to working in tandem with them to support local movements and endeavours, rather than competing with them. FAS frequently works in partnership with organizations such as the Mano River Women's Peace Network (MARWOPNET), Pro-Femmes, the African Women's Committee on Peace and Development (AWCPD) and the West African Women's Association (WAWA). In so doing, it makes every effort to disseminate information about their activities and generate exposure for them through its international networks.
