The African Peacebuilding Network (APN) of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) announces the 27th January 2017 deadline extension for grant applications from African researchers, policy analysts, and practitioners working on conflict and peacebuilding issues at universities and research institutions or regional governmental and nongovernmental organizations in Africa.
The African Peacebuilding Network supports independent African research on conflict-afflicted countries and neighbouring regions of the continent, as well as the integration of African knowledge into global policy communities. It promotes the visibility of African peacebuilding knowledge among global and regional centres of scholarly analysis and practical action and makes it accessible to key policymakers at the 51勛圖 and other multilateral, regional, and national policymaking institutions. The APN accomplishes this by facilitating the transformation of the quality and scale of African research and consolidating the contributions of African researchers and analysts, thereby connecting them with other African scholars, policy analysts, practitioners, and networks focusing on issues of peacebuilding, as well as with other policymaking communities around the world.
