Since its establishment in 2001, WAYN has been working with young people in West Africa on peace consolidation, conflict resolution processes, youth inclusion in governance and border capacity building to strengthen the security situation.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cDo Something for Salone\u201d Project, according to Edwin Nyamoh, Project and Finance Officer at the West African Youth Network, is a wake-up call for all citizens, noting that they owe it to their country to make it a better place as citizens.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the beach cleaning activity at Levuma was inspired by the TRC Report\u2019s recommendation that every Sierra Leonean should help their country in whatever manner they can, which is why the organization decided to undertake the cleaning of the beach.<\/p>\n<p>Nyamoh explained that they are now focused on two projects: Peace and Education. According to him, the Education Initiative target issues like corruption, an unjust system, and marginalization in schools. The Peace initiative, on the other hand, is aimed at targeting university students.<\/p>\n<p>The West African Youth Network, according to Rebecca Petz, a Civil Peace Worker, was created in 2001 in reaction to the civil wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
