The Southern Voices Network for Peacebuilding

The SVNP is a continent-wide network of African policy, research and academic organizations that works with the Wilson Center’s Africa Program to bring African knowledge and perspectives to U.S., African, and international policy on peacebuilding in Africa. Established in 2011 and supported by the generous financial support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the project provides avenues for African researchers and practitioners to engage with, inform, and exchange analyses and perspectives with U.S., African, and international policymakers in order to develop the most appropriate, cohesive, and inclusive policy frameworks and approaches to achieving sustainable peace in Africa.

• Hosting scholars from the network for a 3-month residency at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.

• Organizing first-class conferences that link members to one another and to U.S., African, and international policymakers and practitioners

• Producing best-in-class policy analysis through research papers, policy briefs, reports, and posts on the Africa Program blog, Africa Up Close

The Southern Voices Network for Peacebuilding was established in 2011 with the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
