About us

Headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria, PEPNET works at the intersection of peace education, conflict transformation, youth leadership, governance engagement, institutional strengthening, strategic communication, and social cohesion.

The organisation was established in response to the growing need for practical peace education, preventive engagement, civic responsibility, and healthier systems for addressing conflict, polarisation, misinformation, violence, and social fragmentation across communities.

PEPNET designs and scales practical peace education systems that help individuals, schools, institutions, communities, and governance actors develop healthier ways of learning, relating, leading, communicating, and responding to conflict.

Our work combines grassroots engagement with institutional partnerships to move peacebuilding beyond awareness into sustained practice, behavioural transformation, institutional learning, and systems-level impact.

Since its establishment, PEPNET has implemented peace education, youth leadership, governance dialogue, media engagement, and community-based initiatives reaching thousands of young people, educators, institutions, and community actors across Nigeria.

PEPNET increasingly operates as a bridge between communities, education systems, governance actors, media ecosystems, civil society institutions, and young people by developing scalable peace education frameworks that can be adapted across different contexts.

Today, PEPNET continues to strengthen its contribution to peace education, civic engagement, youth leadership, social cohesion, institutional transformation, and preventive peace infrastructure across Nigeria, Africa, and beyond.

PEPNET is emerging as a growing African peace education institution focused on building practical learning ecosystems that help individuals, institutions, and communities respond to conflict more constructively and sustainably.
