Mission and programs · 2024

• Cote d'Ivoire Programs: Resilience for Peace (R4P) -CI07The R4P program demonstrated success in strengthening community resilience against violent extremism (VE) in northern Cte d'Ivoire in 2024. Through innovative approaches and evidence-based programming, R4P effectively addressed key drivers of fragility while building sustainable mechanisms for peace and stability in one of West Africa's most strategic border regions. According to an external evaluation conducted in August 2024, "R4P's approach contributed to mitigating key drivers of VE through action-oriented research that facilitated understanding of VE dynamics in the northern border regions and informed Government of Cte d'Ivoire responses to VE. The program's achievements were particularly notable in three core areas: improving governance and state-citizen relations, strengthening natural resource management and conflict resolution, and developing a robust community media ecosystem that effectively countered extremist narratives.Innovative Collaboration for Enhancing Civil Military Engagement in Northern Cte d'Ivoire (ICE) - CI09In 2024, EAI implemented the Dutch-funded ICE project to expand work with the CCMs (Civil-Military Committees / Cellules Civilo-Militaires) in northern Cte d'Ivoire.

By empowering Fulbe leaders and fostering collaboration with government leaders and diverse ethnic groups, PIWA will promote social cohesion and reduce marginalization.Fortuna Mining Corps Sustainability National Partnership Program CI11 In 2024, EAI implemented a project with FMC's Sustainability National Partnership Program in Cote d'Ivoire that included the following activities: research activity regarding citizen usage of community health centers, expanding support for gardening activities for women and young people, supporting the marketing and production of honey and poultry to diversify income streams, and support for literacy centers.
