Who we are?

We are the youthful voices for peace and security in Nigeria and the sub-region. Youth, Peace and Security Network also known as Youth for Peace is a global movement by young people demanding inclusion in peace, security and decision making. The adoption of UNSCR 2250 in 2015 provides young people all around the world the opportunity to engage the world and national leaders for the inclusion of youth in peace initiatives and related decision-making processes with a view to achieving sustainable peace and development.
In 2017, some young Nigerians led the processes of engaging the government to implement the provisions of UNSCR 2250 as a member state to the United Nations.
In 2019, more youth-led civil society organizations came together under the umbrella of Youth, Peace and Security Network (Youth 4 Peace) to promote youth, peace and security agenda in Nigeria.
