The West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) is the leading regional civil society organization in conflict prevention and peacebuilding conceived in 1996, and officially launched in 1998 in response to the civil wars, instabilities and humanitarian crises that plagued West Africa in the 1990s. WANEP has succeeded in establishing strong national networks in every Member State of ECOWAS, with over 500 member organizations working in peacebuilding across West Africa. WANEP has credibility and a wide recognition both internationally and locally due to its outstanding work in the areas of peacebuilding and conflict prevention in the ECOWAS region.
