GEPA implemented a five-month project titled “Art for Peace Project” targeting youth from Juba whose capabilities to gain social and economic strength remain wanting. The state of these fluidity stems from the inadequate enforcement of the national youth policy which ideally was designed to maneuver a seamless transition of these youth to adulthood and become agents of change.
Through the grant support from the United States Embassy in Juba, GEPA was in position to implement a youth-led peace building project that targeted former youth gangs in Juba to disseminate information on peace and social cohesion using the youth’s favorite music genre of HOP-HOP, Deejaying and painting of peace messaging graffiti as an advocacy tool.
