Peacebuilding Through Economic Resilience in Host Communities in Northern Cote d'Ivoire and Northern Ghana: This program to build social cohesion between at-risk groups in northern Ghana and northern Cote d’Ivoire by improving equitable access to livelihoods in communities hosting refugees and asylum seekers in these regions. Impoverished host communities demonstrate resentment and hostility towards growing refugee/asylum seeker populations in this region as they compete for land, resources, and support from the state and from nongovernmental organizations. Through strengthening inclusive, equitable, and sustainable communal management of land and water resources in communities hosting refugees/asylum seekers, increasing equitable economic exchange between host communities and refugees/asylum seekers, and building conflict management skills in these communities, this program will improve equitable access to livelihoods for at-risk communities, thereby contributing to strengthened social cohesion between these groups in keeping with Objective 1 of the 10-Year Plan to implement the Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability in Coastal West Africa.
