About Us

Why BBFORPEACE?

BBFORPEACE occupies a unique niche as one of the few truly youth-led organizations operating from the grassroots to policy level. We seamlessly link community action, policy advocacy, and regional networking.

Founded in 2016, we began as Nigeria Youth 4 Peace Initiative — a movement challenging the exclusion of youth from the decision-making process and advocating for meaningful engagement in peacebuilding.
