The project aimed to foster sustainable peaceful coexistence among people from selected communities in Plateau State. Its objective was to establish regular dialogue and consultation across conflict divides between political, religious, and ethnic groups. This focuses on issues of violence prevention, peace, and reconciliation in the selected communities.
By the project’s conclusion, 69 individuals, including women and youth, from three selected communities in Riyom, Bokkos, and Wase LGAs had acquired alternative conflict resolution skills. These skills were applied in their communities, promoting peaceful conflict resolution. Furthermore, selected communities in Jos North, Riyom, Bokkos, and Wase LGAs had achieved active non-violent participation in local and national elections, fostering a culture of peaceful democratic engagement.
