West Africa Network for Peacebuilding is currently inviting applications for its WANEP Internship Programme (WIP). This initiative is designed to provide young professionals with valuable, hands-on experience in peacebuilding and conflict prevention across West Africa.

This internship offers a unique platform for individuals who are passionate about driving positive change within their communities and the wider region. Furthermore, selected interns will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful projects. They will also contribute to ongoing peacebuilding efforts and gain practical exposure to real-world challenges within the sector.

Participants in the programme will benefit from skill development in areas such as research, project implementation, communication, and stakeholder engagement. In addition, the internship provides an excellent opportunity to build professional networks. Interns will interact with experienced practitioners and experts in the field.

The programme is ideal for candidates who are motivated, eager to learn, and committed to promoting peace and stability across West Africa. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply before the specified deadline, as only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further consideration.
