🇳🇬 HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, NIGERIA! 🇳🇬

As Nigeria marks 66 years of independence, Lake Chad Peace & Development Initiative (LCPD) celebrates the resilience, diversity and strength of our people.

This day reminds us of our shared responsibility to build a Nigeria where peace, inclusion, accountable governance and equal opportunities enable every citizen, especially women, children, youth and vulnerable communities, to thrive.

At LCPD, we remain committed to working with communities, government, partners and stakeholders to advance peace, development and lasting solutions across Yobe State and beyond.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria!

Together, let us continue building a more peaceful, inclusive and resilient Nigeria.

INVESTING IN PEACE MEANS STRENGTHENING THE PEOPLE AND SYSTEMS THAT KEEP COMMUNITIES SAFE.

In partnership with Save the Children, Nigeria, LCPD successfully commemorated International Day of Peace 2026 by bringing together government, security institutions, traditional and religious leaders, civil society, farmers, pastoralists and community representatives to strengthen dialogue and collaboration around conflict prevention, community safety and peaceful coexistence.

The dialogue created space to share experiences, identify practical challenges and strengthen locally led approaches for preventing tensions, resolving disputes peacefully and building community resilience.

For communities affected by conflict and displacement, stronger relationships between communities and institutions can mean earlier action, better coordination and greater capacity to prevent conflict before it escalates.

The conversation must now move beyond the room. Together, we must turn dialogue into action, strengthen local peace mechanisms and ensure that communities are equipped to prevent conflict and sustain peace—everywhere, every day.

For Lake Chad Peace & Development Initiative, child participation means more than being present, it means creating meaningful opportunities for children to communicate, express themselves, learn and have their voices valued.

Through the Local Rights Programme (LRP), implemented with funding from ActionAid Nigeria, 818 children across Tudun Wada and Garin Gunja in Nangere LGA, and Bayamari and Tarbutu in Bursari LGA, participated in Child Message Collection (CMC) activities.

The CMC provided children with an opportunity to communicate directly with their sponsors, share their experiences, express their thoughts and strengthen the connection between children and those who support their wellbeing and development.

The sessions also created safe and engaging spaces for children to learn and participate. Through Spell and Act games, nursery rhymes and peer interaction, children expressed their creativity, built confidence and enjoyed learning together.

Hygiene promotion was integrated into the activities, helping children strengthen their knowledge of healthy hygiene practices and encouraging them to apply these behaviours at home, in learning spaces and within their communities.

Building Peace, One Team at a Time!

LCPD has successfully concluded the Sport for Social Cohesion activity, bringing young people together from participating communities in Gujba LGA through fun and inclusive sporting activities.

Participants from different communities were deliberately mixed into teams, creating opportunities to interact, communicate, support one another and work towards shared goals.

Through the games and team activities, participants explored trust, teamwork, communication, respect for differences, and peaceful coexistence.

And in the spirit of the activity, there were no losers—everyone was a winner. Participants were recognized for their teamwork, fair play, participation and support for one another.

Because when communities come together, build friendships and work as one, everyone wins.

Sustaining nutrition gains beyond project closure.

As part of the LCPD Self-Funded Nutrition Project, a Tombrown cooking demonstration was conducted in Ngelaiwa, Nguru LGA, equipping caregivers with practical skills to prepare nutritious, affordable meals using locally available ingredients.

The session covered ingredients, recipes, preparation methods and nutritional benefits, strengthening caregivers’ ability to make informed feeding choices and support the prevention of malnutrition among children.

Knowledge that continues. Skills that last. Impact beyond the project.

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Alhaji Mamman – Community Engagement & Accountability Officer 🌟

This week, we are proud to spotlight Alhaji Mamman Dapchi, our dedicated Community Engagement & Accountability Officer at LCPD.

At LCPD, we believe that meaningful change begins with listening to the people we serve. Alhaji Mamman plays a vital role in strengthening the connection between our organization and the communities we work with, ensuring that community voices, concerns, and perspectives remain at the heart of our interventions.

Mamman’s Impact:
Through community engagement, feedback mechanisms, and accountability processes, Mamman helps ensure that beneficiaries are informed, heard, and meaningfully involved in programs that affect their lives. His work strengthens trust, promotes transparency, and helps LCPD continuously improve its services based on community feedback.

Fun Fact:
When he’s not engaging with communities or following up on feedback, He's always online taking a course or a meeting, and at the office, a meddlesome person. 😊

We are proud to have Alhaji Mamman as part of the LCPD family, helping us listen better, engage meaningfully, and remain accountable to the communities we serve.
