Project “Community Leaders’ Activism for Peace and Stability (CLAPS)” was a two and half year-long project aimed to promote social cohesion and societal peace through Salamti Fellowship sequels and supporting components. Project CLAPS was designed on the strong foundations of project AmnQalaab, which featured strong advocacy, community engagement, training, and capacity enhancement of community/youth activists, influencers, and existing CSOs/NGOs on peacebuilding, alongside a strong social media campaign engaging communities across the board.
CLAPS successfully organized 3 Salamti fellowships (Cohort VI, VII & VIII), 46 community action projects, 2900 direct beneficiaries, and 5 regional workshops. 41 districts of Pakistan were reached during the project, where Salamti fellows conducted Community Action Projects. The mandate of CLAPS was efficiently delivered to over 50,000+ individuals through fellowships, community action projects, social media outreach, campaigns, and partnerships with different education and state institutions. On top of this, 90 feedback videos of fellows, 90 Community Resilience Stories, and many more feedback videos by our mentors were also shared on our social media handles for a far-reaching impact of the project.
