Project which is funded by CAFOD aims to address the socio-political and economic challenges exacerbated by recurring conflicts in Plateau State, Nigeria. The state has been scarred by violent conflicts, including the 2001 ethno-religious crisis in Jos, and recent clashes in Bassa and Jos North Local Government Areas.

These conflicts have resulted in significant loss of lives, displacement, and psychosocial trauma, creating an environment of fear and mistrust. Traditional conflict resolution mechanisms have proven inadequate, and the social fabric of these communities has been torn apart. The project seeks to reinforce successes achieved in previous initiatives by promoting sustainable peace and social harmony.

The project aims to achieve this by equipping community members with dialogue skills, fostering cohesion through various activities, and strengthening conflict resolution mechanisms. By addressing the root causes of conflicts and building the resilience of communities, the project aims to bring about positive change. This will be achieved through enhancing dialogue skills, fostering social cohesion, and strengthening conflict resolution mechanisms.

The project recognizes the importance of addressing Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) dynamics and ensuring the inclusion of all groups of community members. Efforts will be made to ensure equal participation, gender-sensitive approaches, and empowerment of men, women, boys, and girls. By ensuring meaningful participation and empowerment, the project aims to create a more inclusive and resilient society.
