Report Summary

As an organization led by a young woman serving youth, Hope Advocates Africa works at the intersection between the YPS and WPS agendas. In 2022, HADA successfully created a network of 100 young women peacebuilders in Cameroon during the launch of its She Builds Peace campaign. The initiative built partnerships to localize the WPS and YPS agendas in CameroonIn 2022, 17 local women-led organizations from the northwest and southwest regions of Cameroon were selected alongside HADA’s partner to access funding under the United States government funded project SHE WINS. This funding came with clearly defined criteria to ensure local women organizations in Cameroon were direct beneficiaries.
Moreover, HADA successfully mobilized young women to build a network which is locally rooted with peacebuilders working at local, grassroots level. The traditionally marginalized Mbororo minority group were a part of this movement, ensuring ideas of inclusion, local ownership and leadership.
