- ATC Consultants GmbH has recently identified an interesting mission (see attached ToRs) funded by the Austrian Development Agency, "Evaluation externe du Projet d´Appui au Bureau de la Zone n.2 de l´observatoire de la paix de la CEDEAO" / "External Evaluation of the Project to Support the Zone 2 Office of the peace observation center of ECOWAS".
In order to carry out this 20 working days assignment, the mission foresees the involvement of 1 Expert for 20 working days in March / April 2010.
The mission foresees 1 trip to West Africa, both in Burkina Faso (Ouagadougou) and in Nigeria (Abuja) to collect the necessary data and conduct the primordial interviews.
The expert profile defined by the ADA is the following:
- Proven experience in the field of evaluation
- Proven experience in the field of peace-building, conflict prevention especially in West Africa
- Good knowledge of ECOWAS and of the ECOWARN system would be a distinctive advantage
- Perfectly fluent in French and English
Given your outstanding experience in the field of conflict prevention and peace building, we would be happy to present your CV or the ones of your suggested experts to the ADA for this assignment.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Many Thanks & Best Regards,
Richard Chopra

Safiya said… - Yes Craig, Last Year I was certified as Generations for Peace, Peace Pioneer. That means I satisfied all criteria and expectations of a pioneer which is to work with at least 200 children and 20 trainers annually passing on Generations for Peace Core values like Leadership, Teamwork, Tolerance etc
We designed a gender specific campaign called “Let Her Play” whose main objective was to step up girls involvement in sports in northern Nigeria. The campaign consisted of 11 projects- Advocacy, Training events, Sports sessions for children and newsletters. The campaign benefited over 4,000 children, girls and adults within a 10 month span. Objectives included helping girls build self-esteem and confidence as well as passing on Generations for Peace values and helping to bridge the gender, religious and ethnic divided in our communities.
Pictures and reports of the project can be found on www.ewei.wetpaint.com
We seek to ensure the sustainability of this project by seeking support to continue the programs within the school curriculum and some clinics for out-of-school girls. Most times it doesn’t take a lot to do a project that can change a child’s life forever. Nigeria is ridden with various divides that cause conflict: religious, ethnic, political, social and gender- particularly in northern Nigeria.
I must say how happy I am being a member of this site and how resourceful I have found it already. I found it while searching for funding opportunities for our young organization, Empowering Women for Excellence Initiative which is one of the Local Partner Organizations for Generations for Peace in Nigeria.

Engy said… - Thank you for the information on the Books Section. I saw it and it will be useful for me a great deal as i am required to write some reviews for several books of my choice, so i will try to find some of these and do my work on. I told other people about the site and some of them already became members. I am also volunteering with an NGO on youth empowerment and cross-cultural dialouges, and we will be creating a section on the website and tell all members about it but after we upgrade our own website.
