Network of Policy Makers to support Reconciliation, Peace and Security in Nigeria

Policymakers_Roundta

The Network of Policymakers and Religious Leaders in Nigeria convenes high level government representatives and senior religious leaders from across the country to address ethno-religious conflict and build peaceful coexistence between adherents of Nigeria’s two main faiths, Islam and Christianity.

Participants of the Network recognize that policymaking and implementation need religious voices in order to deescalate the interreligious and intercultural conflicts which threaten the country’s stability. The Network intends to foster better informed and more inclusive policies which take into account the sensitivities and needs of Nigeria’s diverse community groups.

Rather than engaging in conflict resolution and post-conflict processes, the Network will work to formulate preventive measures that address tensions before they erupt into violent confrontation.

KAICIID and the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) support the Network in carrying out their policy review by facilitating regular meetings and ensuring that religious actors provide inputs to the policy briefs.

11-12 December 2019

120 KAICIID Fellows from around the world discussed in Vienna, Austria the role of interreligious dialogue in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The sustainable development goals address challenges such as education, gender equality, sustainable communities, peace and justice. The conference was centred on five panels of experts, composed of 33 Fellows alumni and members of KAICIID’s interreligious Board. The initiative reflected KAICIID's aim of making the grassroots experience of activists and religious leaders relevant to the wider human development goals at policymaking level. The event culminated in the graduation of 93 new Fellows from the International, Arab, Europe and South South-East Asia cohorts.
