AMPLIFYING VOICES THAT MATTER

PAVE NETWORK

We are Transforming Communities Through Strategic Action

We transform grassroots concerns into national policy action. Our advocacy work bridges the gap between community experiences and government decision-making, ensuring that policies reflect the realities of those most affected by violent extremism. We champion evidence-based approaches that prioritize human rights, community ownership, and sustainable solutions.

Capacity Building for Members and Stakeholders

From technical training on conflict analysis and program design to workshops on monitoring and evaluation, we ensure our network members are equipped with cutting-edge knowledge and best practices. Our training programs are contextually relevant, culturally sensitive, and designed to build long-term institutional capacity within our member organizations.

COMMUNITIES AT THE CENTER

Promoting Community Resilience and Amplifying Community Voices

We facilitate community dialogues, support local peace initiatives, and help communities develop their own strategies for preventing radicalization. By amplifying community voices, we ensure that PCVE policies and programs are grounded in the lived experiences of those most affected by violent extremism.

KNOWLEDGE AS POWER

Developing and Disseminating Relevant PCVE Tools and Documents

We produce cutting-edge resources that guide effective PCVE practice across Nigeria. From research reports and policy briefs to training manuals and assessment tools, our publications reflect the latest thinking in PCVE while being grounded in Nigerian contexts and experiences.

CONNECTING ACROSS BORDERS

Facilitating Partnerships and Global Collaborations

Our international partnerships provide access to resources, expertise, and platforms that amplify our impact. We participate in regional and global networks while hosting international delegations and contributing to global policy discussions on PCVE.
