The stakeholders involved in the project differ depending on the components.
For Peace and Tolerance component, rights holders are primarily students of the 8 participating schools. Teachers and administrative staff of these schools can also be considered as right holders. The parents of these students fall into the same category.

The duty bearers involved for this component are responsible for maintaining peace and security, the school management and teachers, and the parents. Other stakeholders to be indicated for this component are organizational leaders operating in the same schools targeted by the project, official members of MISSEH missions, heads of other schools in the same areas as the target schools.
For the Gender component, rights holders include men, but especially women members of churches network of MISSEH, female survivors of GBV in churches, men and women religious leaders directly involved in the implementation of project activities. The duty bearers are church leaders (leaders, pastors), Member of missions network MISSEH, local officials of the Ministry of Justice as well as the Ministry for Women status and Women rights (MCFDF).
