The Education Sub-Saharan Africa is committed to developing, testing and promoting the adoption of appropriate models for improving health, peace and environment education which can be attained only by applying modern education methods and tools. Therefore, it is important for teachers in schools and community educators to understand the concepts of our research from definition to sharing results especially in developing education materials. This will subsequently provide sound evidence for our advocacy strategy and improve our capacity-building components. The primary purpose of this is to provide relevant Information, Education and Communication on Health, Peace and Environment Conservation to all communities in this Sub-Saharan Africa.
