FACE Initiative is empowering marginalized groups, especially women and youth to participate in decision making process and strengthening institutions for policy reforms through enlightenment, capacity building, advocacy and collaboration.
FACE Initiative was founded in 2010 and was incorporated with the Cooperate Affairs Commission in Abuja on July 4th, 2013 (CAC/IT/NO 62317). FACE Initiative was established to strengthen local civic agencies to bridge the obvious gap between the grassroots and their representatives at various level of governance that has resulted in top-down development that further disempower vulnerable groups, especially women and youths.
FACE Initiative work to create opportunities for grassroots participation in decision making process and environmental protection to strengthen the fragile peace in the Niger Delta and enhance peace and sustainable development in the region.
