About Us
A Community-Led Approach to Lasting Peace
IBPCD is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to peace and development in Nigeria's borderland areas. Borderlands are often overlooked, yet they are where many of the country's most complex security, economic and social challenges meet.
We believe that durable peace comes from communities themselves. Our work is grounded in local knowledge, respect for culture and partnerships that give people a real voice in the decisions that affect their lives.
