The Endurable Peace and Unity Ambassadors Initiative

We Are Building Peace Across Nigeria

About ENPUAI

The Endurable Peace and Unity Ambassadors Initiative (ENPUAI) is a grassroots peacebuilding organisation working across Nigeria’s 250+ ethnic communities. We train youth leaders, facilitate inter-ethnic dialogue and resolve conflicts at the community level — from markets and schools to places of worship and town halls.

Youth Peace Ambassador Programme 2026

Train the next generation of peacebuilders across Nigeria’s 36 states.

ENPUAI is equipping 500 young Nigerians to mediate conflicts, lead inter-ethnic dialogue circles and serve as certified peace ambassadors in their own communities. With 70% of Nigeria’s population under 35, young people are both the drivers of change and those most affected by conflict. Applications for the 2026 cohort are now open.

What Makes ENPUAI Different?

We combine Nigeria’s indigenous conflict resolution traditions with proven modern peacebuilding frameworks. Our programmes are community-led, youth-driven and built to create lasting change — not just short-term interventions.

Grassroots Impact

We work directly in communities — markets, schools, places of worship and town halls — addressing conflict at its source. Our peace ambassadors live and work alongside the people they serve.

Youth at the Centre

With 70% of Nigeria's population under 35, young people hold the greatest power to transform their communities. ENPUAI trains youth as credible mediators and dialogue facilitators within their own peer groups and neighbourhoods.

Cross-Ethnic Dialogue

Our signature inter-ethnic dialogue circles bring young people from different ethnic and religious backgrounds together to build mutual understanding, resolve grievances and create shared visions for peaceful communities.

"ENPUAI gave me the tools to mediate a conflict between two rival groups in my community. Six months later, we still have peace."
