Conflict Awareness Project – CAP

From 2019 to 2022 the Norwegian Mission Society (NMS) has been implementing a project entitled the Conflict Awareness Project (CAP). The CAP project had the overall aim to strengthen the churches in dealing with internal as well as external conflicts by establishing a strategy and a structure for conflict management as well as by equipping key people within the church with expert skills for dealing with conflicts. The project was implemented by partner churches, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon (EELC), the Ethiopian Evangelical Church of Mekane Yesus (EECMY) and the Fiangonana Loterana Malagasy (FLM) in Madagascar. Over the three years of project implementation (2019 to 2021), a total number of 24 workshops were held in which people of different levels and backgrounds learned about conflict awareness, conflict analysis and peace building. A total of 706 people were reached, 361 of them were women.
