Noblemen For Peace is an International Non-Governmental Organization with the vision of building a World Wide Peace. This project has been designed as part of NMFP’s effort to redress the issue of conflict and child abuse and its related cases, which is on the increase in the Ghanaian society. The project will, among other things, help redress the rampant cases of conflict through misunderstanding and child abuse and also promote the ideals of the UN convention on the right of the child and the peace in the world.
Under the pilot program, which is during the first year of its implementation, the following objectives will be achieved;
Training of peace advocates and project personnel by consultants
Establishment of resource center for effective and efficient implementation of the project.
Establishment of Peace Advocate and outreach unit. The outreach and peace advocate unit will also assist with the educational aspect of the project.
The project aims at assisting a total of 1900 beneficiaries during the project and as many as 1200 Politicians, Religious Leaders and Youth to know the negative consequences that WAR brings to HUMANITY. In addition, an institutional framework will be put in place to develop a strategy to ensure the long – term sustainability of the project. The project will give specific attention to the needs and rights and peace of the Child and Humanity in the Country.
During this period the project will give special attention to the target group through sensitization as well as consolidating the institutional structures for a long term sustainability of the project.
Approval of an expansion component will be considered after the initial 4 years of the project, following a preliminary assessment of achievements under the pilot project. The expansion component will cover other identified sites in the project area.
The beneficiaries of the project will be the youth and children as well as parents and guardians in the community. The target population for the project can be expected not to exceed 600 as discovered from the preliminary research conducted prior to the preparation of the project document.
Priority will be given to assisting the neglected youth and children who do not have any form of education as a result of broken homes and parental neglect. The project will assist this group of youth as there are threats to peace in the area, the country and the World at large to enable them have some form of education and also acquire some vocational skills to occupy them (not to be used by Politicians and Religious leaders to abuse). The next level of priority will also be given to other disadvantaged groups such as the handicapped and school drop – outs.
In the longer term, the beneficiaries of the project will be the youth and children population parents and guardians and the society as a whole.
