Executive Director's message
As an organisation, we are committed to promoting and building a world of lasting peace and fostering a culture of empowerment, inclusivity, dialogue, and service to humanity.
I extend my sincere appreciation to our Board of Trustees, management, staff, volunteers, donors, and sponsors for their confidence in our mission and unwavering commitment to our work.
Our three core strategies - people, place, and partnership - focus on innovation, collaboration, and safe spaces for vulnerable groups. Through our Community Innovation Hub and Co-working Space, we connect affected populations to support, skills, and opportunities that spark economic development.
Our future plan is to protect and restore dignity for conflict-affected people, strengthen community resilience through peacebuilding and livelihoods, support sustainable reintegration, promote climate-smart solutions, and institutionalise accountability, gender equality, and locally led humanitarian action.
Background
PACHE holds core competence and experience in youth mentoring, peace building and social cohesion, conflict resolution, protection, community engagement and mobilization, democracy and good governance, advocacy and policy influencing, capacity building, and civil-military relationship and coordination. Formed in 2014 and registered as an NGO at the Corporate Affairs Commission (Nigeria) in 2019, we use programmes, projects, consultation, conference, dialogue and advocacy to harness commitment and support for sustainable development goals. Our record of accomplishment includes engagement with government agencies, community members, security agencies, and traditional and religious leaders. Our existing network and membership facilitate and enhance our work across Borno State and the Northeast.
