Here is a snapshot of the events.
Global Peace Leadership Conference – Abuja, Nigeria
November 7-9, 2013
The GLOBAL PEACE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE in Abuja is themed: “Moral and Innovative Leadership: Building Sustainable Peace for a Prosperous Future. Nigeria has been blessed with natural resources such as oil and soil, but also with a richly diverse people.

This Leadership Conference will call for moral and innovative leaders from across Africa who will forge networks transcending traditional barriers to move the continent forward.
The following outcomes are projected:
- Build a coalition of peacemakers beyond religious, political, social, and ethnic/tribal differences to promote regional and national unity, integration, and of a culture of peace;
- Present a new approach to peace-building and development transcending economic, political and diplomatic strategies, and grounded in shared spiritual and ethical values;
- Promote ‘whole-person’ education that can empower youths to develop character and good citizenship as a society’s most valuable resource;
- Advance a Pan-African agenda for sustainable peace and development.
- Launch of an AFRICAN LEADERSHIP MISSION on peacebuilding, young leadership and service.
