In 2021, in Guinea, the Fund’s approach to social cohesion through inclusive dialogue and conflict resolution, coupled with economic opportunities for at-risk groups, remained relevant following a coup d’état in September. In areas marked by high levels of insecurity, community-based violence decreased by 14 per cent, while women’s sense of public security grew by 11.5 per cent, attributable in part to interventions by 800 women leaders funded through a $1.1 million project of UNDP and UNICEF. In other areas, a $1.25 million project of UNFPA, IOM and UNDP has helped to improve community security by supporting young taxi drivers in turning away from past engagement in electoral violence and becoming agents of positive change in their communities. In Guinée Forestière, with support from UNDP and Search for Common Ground, over 350 conflicts were referred to Fund-supported local early warning and conflict resolution mechanisms that bring together community members and authorities. The initiative is part of a package of support in Guinée Forestière that fosters greater collaboration between communities and improved relations with security forces.
