A peacebuilding think tank based in Nigeria, Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro has partnered with the Australian based Institute of Economics and Peace (IEP) to launch Africa Peace Insight report.
The IEP is the producer of Global Peace Index (GPI), the renowned preeminent rating of peacefulness of nations across the world and PeacePro on the other hand is the producer of Nigeria’s version of the report tagged Nigeria Peace Index (NPI).
The executive director of PeacePro, Mr Abdulrazaq Hamzat made this known in a statement made available to the press in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital on Monday.
According to Hamzat, PeacePro produced the Africa Peace Insight report in partnership with IEP, to simplify and contextualize the findings of the Global Peace Index.
“PeacePro is now in partnership with IEP to launch the Africa Peace Insight report” Hamzat said
Hamzat explained that Africa Peace Insight (API) is a continental report to deepen peacebuilding conversation in the African continent.
“Africa Peace Insight is an attempt to break down, simplify and contextualize Global Peace Index report from historical, political and economic perspective.
The report is also aimed at placing African centred peacebuilding at forefront of policy and agenda setting, both at the African Union (AU), as well as subregional bodies such as Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), East African Community (EAC), Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and Southern African Development Community (SADC).
