The Conflict, Security and Stability Fund (CSSF) in Northern Ghana project is a two-month pilot being implemented in the five Northern regions of Ghana with the objective of contributing to addressing the underlying causes of conflict, insecurity and underdevelopment in Northern Ghana. The purpose is to develop a Roadmap for coordinated advocacy on peace, security and stability in the Northern, North East, Savannah, Upper East and Upper West regions. To ensure local ownership for sustainability, the project is being implemented in partnership with the Northern Development Authority (NDA) and the Northern Development Forum (NDF).
Using its signature 3Cs (convening, catalysing, and coordinating) programming approach, the project will convene series of regional stakeholder dialogues to offer space for stakeholder reflections on the drivers of conflicts in Northern Ghana; and to catalyse and coordinate efforts at addressing the underlying causes of conflict and insecurity in Northern Ghana as part of a broad Roadmap. The Roadmap, an output of the regional and national dialogues is to lay a foundation for more holistic and inclusive actions on the identified drivers of conflict and offer recommendations for coordinated and complementary actions by state and non-state actors.
The CSSF Northern Ghana project is being implemented with a grant from the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
