The EU has granted funding to the SSVP in the Central African Republic for a basic formation project. Over the next 48 months, this project will strengthen the capacity of the work of the SSVP, enabling it to provide better support for socially marginalised people in the RCA.
The aims of this project are:
- To increase Conference participation in a variety of projects by better mobilisation of their own resources, giving sustainable support to the most deprived people.
- To improve the capabilities and technical skills of the staff at the various levels of the SSVP’s organisation, to formulate consistent projects that can help to increase the access of external resources, plan the work better and manage resources more effectively.
This is the first time we have succeeded in winning funding from the European Union in this way for an African country. The International Council has agreed to provide the 10% co-funding requested by the EU, and will continue to help the RCA during the course of the project.

 Among the different creative ways of resisting violence in our world today, the author puts forth fragility as an essential. At the same time he proposes the strength of horizontal dimensions in the organization of society as a solution, rather than hierarchical structures. In other words, the basis of solutions is achieved in a circular fashion, a sort of ‘around the table’ type of discussion where all those who are at the table, including the poor and the marginalized, are given the opportunity to express themselves as equals in the discussions.
