Enumerators at Allamin Foundation for Peace and Development (ALFOPED)

Allamin Foundation for Peace and Development (ALFOPED) is a non-profit non-governmental peacebuilding organization registered in Nigeria in response to the lack of voices, low and pervasive literacy level, widespread abject poverty, and a long period of neglect suffered in the North-East region of Nigeria that led to the emergence of the Boko Haram insurgency. ALFOPED is committed to ending violent conflict in North-East Nigeria and assisting victims of conflict in accessing services, maintaining a decent standard of living, acquiring appropriate knowledge and skills, enjoying the fullest possible extent of human rights, and leading a long and healthy life. Our programmes are spread across Peacebuilding, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence, Reproduction and Maternal Health, Human Rights, and Education.
