Partners for Peace Network
The partners for Peace (P4P) network was established by the PIND Foundation in Nigeria to build a local peacebuilding movement in the Niger Delta to foster collaboration and coordination amongst a growing network of peace activists.
Since 2012 the PIND Foundation has embarked on extensive interventions in conflict prevention, conflict management and peacebuilding in the region. PIND’s role in and its support for grassroots-led conflict resolution initiatives are examples of both the scope and the limits of long-term peacebuilding projects.
Recognizing the need for an integrated and comprehensive approach to tackling the complex causes and drivers of conflict in the region, PIND adopted a plan of action that aimed to keep the level of violence as low as possible while also building the social infrastructure and social capital of peace actors across the region for long term sustainable peace. This ushered in a paradigm shift reflecting a different way of working on problems of militancy, election violence, gang/cult violence, communal violence, and the cross-cutting issue of Violence Affecting Women and Girls (VAWG).
