The forum was part of strengthening community awareness on peace building and the role of the security in the maintenance of peace ahead of the forthcoming presidential election.
The dialogue was also meant to bring various communities together and discuss challenges ahead of the presidential election and carve out the way forward for a better Gambia.

The LRR governor thanked DCAF and WANEP for the initiative she described as timely.
Alfusiney Jarsey, chief of Jarra West, said the forum is worth emulating to ensure grassroots are sensitised about the importance of peace, their rights and responsibilities during the presidential elections.
