As part of our Peace Conversation Initiative, we are shedding light on local organisations that are driving peace from within their own communities.
This week, we are spotlighting Justice for All – Prison Fellowship Ethiopia (JFA-PFE), a partner organisation of Woord en Daad. Founded in 1992 by former prisoners in response to severe prison conditions and human rights abuses, JFA-PFE has grown into a national non profit organisation working across Ethiopia’s justice sector. Its work focuses on peacebuilding through dialogue, public participation, and reconciliation at both community and national levels.
By combining traditional conflict resolution mechanisms with inclusive dialogue forums, JFA-PFE addresses the root causes of conflict and strengthens social cohesion across the country.
Their work shows what peace looks like on the ground: the strategies that strengthen communities, the challenges that threaten stability, and the resources needed to make local peacebuilding possible.
