In consultation with six geo-political zones in Nigeria under its consideration, NPR will pursue more effective partnerships with regional and subregional organizations with a focus on coherent support to conflict-affected regions, based on shared analysis. In doing so, it will also build on suggestions made during past consultative meetings with stakeholders.
By fostering closer cooperation with all relevant state, local, regional, and global organizations, the NPR should ensure a more efficient and coherent approach to peacebuilding. The NPR will also seek to foster closer partnerships with civil society organizations, and peacebuilding organization, including those at the grassroots level in order to support their participation in peacebuilding and in meetings of the ‘4DRDP ’Programme.
The NPR will continue to pursue opportunities for stronger engagement with international financial institutions (IFIs), and regional financial institutions including multilateral development banks, to address the peacebuilding needs of Nigeria under its consideration. This effort should be further streamlined by the NPR’s visits to their headquarters and regular engagement of IFIs, the Ministry of Defence, the Nigeria Presidency, and regional financial institutions, including multilateral development banks for partnership and sponsorship. The NPR will also consider stronger engagement with the private sector as appropriate, to support peacebuilding initiatives.
