Organization

Aide et Action Pour la Paix (AAP)

AAP was established in 2002 to promote the environmental rights of rural, conflict-affected communities and to reinforce local capacity to protect these rights. AAP sensitizes young people about the linkages between environmental rights and community peace development through community forums. These community forums provide a safe space through which youth can participate in a rural peace initiative, discuss HIV education, and promote youth clubs that improve understanding of the constitution, environmental laws and peace.
