The women meet every fortnight to discuss peace building issues as well as other issues hindering social unity in their communities and they agree on various activities to address the identified issues. These women will engage with various community stakeholders such as churches, traditional leadership, local government authorities and business people, among others, on issues of peace building issues that are important to their community. These women with the assistance of HZT are expected to facilitate reconciliation and peace dialogues within their localities. e) Youth Sports for Peace Youth Sports for Peace are sporting activities meant to mobilise young people to come together and play games. Sports are a unifying agent for young people and their communities, particularly those from divided communities. Youths will have an opportunity to interact and form lasting relationships with others from various socio-economic and political groupings, backgrounds as well geographic locations. Community members who will be watching and supporting these sporting activities can also begin to identify and form relationships from across the social, economic and political divides. This will also help people to tolerate differences and build social cohesion in the end. Community Peace Clubs can also use sports tournaments as part of low cost initiatives for continued community reconciliation and relationships building. Peace Clubs are expected to establish Youth for Peace Committees that will organize sports for peace tournaments in their target areas. These committees should organize peace tournaments targeting youths in their communities without discrimination on the basis of any social grouping. Peace Clubs should ensure they incorporate these youths in other activities such as collaborative platforms, conflict mitigation trainings, life skills enhancement, and positive community engagement and information dissemination. This will help enhancing youth’s role in community protection. 4.
