At IRN, our approach towards peacebuilding focuses on strengthening the sustainability of peace so as to reduce lapsing or relapsing into violence and conflict. We never underestimate the power of bringing people together to actualize peace and repair broken relationships. We organize seminars, peace talk shows, peace dialogues, and support campaigns that are targeted towards promoting peaceful coexistence.

You can easily notice member(s) of the Muslim Group “Agaji” guarding a Church, and also member(s) of the Christian group “Boys Brigade” guarding a Mosque. This was a fulfillment of a challenge thrown to the both religions during IRN’s Peace Seminar. Respect and understanding between
