Who we are

FACE Initiative was founded in 2010 and incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on 4 July 2013 (CAC/IT/No. 62317). The organization was established to strengthen local civil agency to bridge the gap between grassroots communities and decision-makers, promoting inclusive, participatory governance and preventing top-down development approaches that often marginalize vulnerable groups, particularly women and youth.

FACE Initiative creates opportunities for grassroots participation in decision-making, environmental protection, and community development to promote peace, social inclusion, and sustainable development

Vision

We envision a progressive, inclusive, and cohesive society where all stakeholders actively participate in decisions that affect their lives, free from discrimination based on gender, age, ethnicity, religion, disability, culture, or political affiliation.

Mission

To empower marginalized and vulnerable groups, particularly women and youth, through capacity building, advocacy, and community engagement to actively participate in decision-making processes and contribute to inclusive governance, economic development, social justice, environmental sustainability, and lasting peace.

Objective

To promote participatory approaches to development planning, peacebuilding, public policy formulation, and governance reforms. To strengthen the capacity of marginalized and vulnerable groups, particularly women and youth, to become economically empowered, self-reliant, confident, and equipped with relevant knowledge and skills. To mobilize and amplify the voices of vulnerable groups to demand accountability, promote transparency, and advocate for good governance and inclusive decision-making. To build the capacity of communities in environmental management and climate action while promoting environmental protection, natural resource conservation, and public awareness through community-led initiatives.
