Community peacebuilding
Supporting community-led efforts that build trust and resolve conflict.
GAPI advocates for the protection of human rights, freedom of speech, access to information and good governance.
We do this by addressing media-induced hate speech, disinformation, discrimination and incitement to violence against individuals, groups and communities.
Peace needs people who tell the truth, and spaces where they can be heard.
