The project, “Creative
Skills for Peace” seeks to develop the skills of 1000 young people who had been
or are engaged in violence and violent extremist activities as a way to prevent
and counter violent extremism. This project will develop marketable,
entrepreneurial, leadership and peace building skills of these young people
between the ages of 12- 30 year, found in detention and correction centers
across five regions of Cameroon. This will go a long way break the yoke of
poverty, unemployment and social exclusion which is usually the push factor for
youth radicalization and extremism. In effect, they will be imbibed with a culture of peace and transform
them as ambassadors of peace, thus deradicalize and frustrate violent extremist organization who
prey on the poverty, social exclusion and low self esteem of these young people
to radicalize and recruit them.
This is the pilot phase, starting with 30 kids in BIB (Borstal Institute Buea)
