Report: Conflict analysis of Cabo Delgado Province in Mozambique

“Kujenga Amani: Building peace on the Swahili Coast” is a project funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by a consortium of civil society organisations (CSOs) led by CEFA Onlus. The project’s vision is of an enhanced role for youth networks and grassroots organisations in mobilising young people living in selected coastal areas of Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania so that they can become agents of positive change within their communities.

The conflict analysis was conducted to assess the conflict and peacebuilding dynamics in the districts of Ancuabe, Chiure and Mecufi, and the city of Pemba in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province. Specifically, the analysis aimed to identify barriers and factors that hinder and undermine social cohesion, especially those affecting the rights and participation of young women and men, and the full and harmonious development of their personality. In addition, the analysis focused on identifying entry points and opportunities to promote peacebuilding in the province.
