The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) West Africa is leading efforts to train journalists in Katsina State on strategic communication for conflict prevention and peace promotion.

The training, conducted over two days, aims to enhance journalists' capacity to disseminate information that fosters conflict resolution. The initiative is part of CDD's broader conflict prevention and crisis response programs, in collaboration with international organizations like the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and funded by the European Union (EU).
