Just Future Programme
The African Security Sector Network (ASSN) is part of the ‘Just Future’ Programme, a consortium of six established CSOs and networks from the Global North and South.
The programme seeks to strengthen the capacity of CSOs in six fragile and conflict-affected countries to enable their collective action towards more inclusive and peaceful societies.
