CARE Initiative

Happy Birthday to an amazing member of our team!

Your dedication, hard work, and positive spirit continue to inspire us every day. Wishing you a year filled with happiness, growth, and endless success.

Enjoy your special day! 🎉

Yesterday, CARE Initiative participated in the Borno State Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) Validation Workshop alongside government stakeholders, development partners, civil society actors, security agencies, and young people to review and strengthen the Borno State YPS Action Plan.

The workshop provided a valuable platform for dialogue and collaboration toward advancing youth inclusion in peace and security efforts across Borno State. We were also inspired by the strong commitments shared through the goodwill messages delivered during the session.

At CARE Initiative, we remain committed to promoting social cohesion, youth engagement, and community-driven peacebuilding initiatives that strengthen peaceful coexistence and inclusive participation.

Last week, CARE Initiative participated in a Two-Day Roundtable and Knowledge-Sharing Retreat on the Review and Dissemination of the One UN Offer Consultation Report, focused on strengthening reintegration pathways for children in Borno State, led by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime(UNODC). UNODC - United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

We engaged in interactive discussions, presentations, and group work alongside key stakeholders; sharing insights, asking critical questions, and contributing to practical recommendations for improved child protection and reintegration outcomes.

We remain committed to advancing coordinated and child-centered approaches in our programming.

New Week. New Goals. New Possibilities.

CARE Initiative staff, led by our Head of Programs, paid a courtesy visit to the Commissioner of Police, Naziru Abdulmajid psc at the Borno State Police Headquarters to formally introduce the organization and explore strategic areas of collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force.

The engagement highlighted key partnership opportunities around community peacebuilding and social cohesion.
It also provided an opportunity to discuss shared priorities within the context of Borno State, where communities continue to navigate recovery from years of conflict and displacement. Conversations focused on strengthening protection efforts, promoting peaceful coexistence, and enhancing collaboration between communities and security actors to build trust, improve safety, and support long-term stability.

CARE Initiative sincerely appreciates the Commissioner of Police and her team for the warm reception and openness to partnership.

This visit marks an important step toward fostering safer, more cohesive communities through strengthened civilian-security collaboration.

As part of our thematic area for social cohesion, we recognise the role the police play in maintaining peace and security and we affirm our commitment to continued collaboration for safer communities.
