ENPUAI has completed the training of 200 women across Delta and Rivers States as certified Community Peace Facilitators — the organisation’s largest single cohort in its history. Drawn from 40 communities across both states, the women completed a rigorous 10-day programme covering conflict analysis, trauma-informed facilitation, dialogue design, and documentation.

The training is the centrepiece of ENPUAI’s Women, Peace & Security initiative, which recognises that sustainable community peace requires women to lead peace processes — not merely observe them.

In both Delta and Rivers States, women have borne the heaviest burden of community conflict: displacement, loss of livelihoods, restricted movement, and the unacknowledged work of holding communities together in the aftermath of violence. ENPUAI’s programme redirects this burden into formal, recognised leadership.

All 200 graduates have been deployed to their home communities, each paired with an experienced ENPUAI mentor. They are now active in the ENPUAI Early Warning Network — identifying tensions, convening dialogues, and serving as first-responders before situations escalate to violence.
