I am a member of the Bayelsa P4P Prevent team. When we get information, we act on it to prevent conflict but where conflict has already come to a stage we still intervene. Depending on the level of the conflict we partner with law enforcement agencies in the state. We do our work at the state level and community level. Even with all these challenges, P4P has done a lot for my community. It was the training I got from P4P that I brought down to the council meeting and did a step-down training for my other chiefs, and they all have embraced it. The level of conflict among the youth in my community has reduced. The consciousness and the need for them to embrace peace is heightened and they are applying the methods I taught them. Today, when I go for meetings with my other chiefs they say ‘Peace has come’!
