We drive development and change through our advocacy efforts. Through the 'Nkabom' campaign, we have launched the Nkabom Journey for Peace and Development Webinar Series which are virtual conferences that engage highly resourced panels, including eminent personalities, youth, women and community groups from across Ghana and other African countries.
Research fuels innovation and at Abibiman, programs and projects are informed by research. We link research (academic and commercial) to industry to promote knowledge, build capacity and develop best practices within. This ensures that the right personnel are deployed on programs and projects to promote innovative solutions to communal, societal and national issues.
We design and implement financial and investment innovations to promote fund-raising and mobilization from multiple and different sources (both internal and external funding sources) available at the regional level. We also manage investment portfolios that drive new investments into supporting existing businesses and establishing social enterprises to promote and open up new investment opportunities.

Abibiman Foundation is currently the Africa Regional Secretariat of the Abibiman Global to champion the implementation of The SDGs Agenda - 2030 Programme on advocacy, research and promoting investments in African countries. Abibiman Foundation was formed twenty (20) years ago by a group of youth activists who believed in the efforts and determination to sustain the world's ecosystems and improve human lives. They were therefore poised to move forward an agenda that will promote and positively impact on the livelihoods, peace and development of the peoples of the world at large and Africa in particular and hence the name Abibiman Foundation (The African Foundation). The founders of Abibiman Foundation believed that the lack of understanding and a better blend of the rich cultural heritage and modern concept of human relationship and development have led to the prevailing situations which are depriving the development of the human kind especially in Africa.
Abibiman Foundation is a Non-Profit Oriented, Non-Partisan, Non-Governmental Organization (RGD G5, 895, DSW 2525), established in 2000 and dedicated to the promotion of a culture of peace and amelioration of conflicts, wars and refugees situations. It seeks to do these through the promotion of knowledge which is based on cultural, civic, human and environmental rights to positively impacts on democracy, good governance and development. Abibiman Foundation therefore promotes cultural, formal and non-formal education as well as technical and vocational skill development to enhance employment and job opportunities for a better standard of human. It focuses attention and resources on promoting the balance between the biodiversity our ecosystem and sustainable development, and the implications of the environment, land and water usage (agriculture, mining and infrastructure development, etc.), land degradation and climate change. The Foundation upholds the principles of the United Nations, African Union and the eight (8) Africa Regional Economic Communities (ECOWAS, AMU, CEN-SAD, COMESA, EAC, ECCAS, IGAD and SADC). Abibiman Foundation is therefore an accredited member of the UNFCCC, UNGC, GEF, UNCAC Coalition and ECOSOC of the United Nations
The Foundation develops concepts and programs based on a combined approached matrix and methodologies that enable its audience to identify problems, set priority, and address needs assessments. These then act as catalyst for actions with appropriate decision and policy-makers which are based on effective burden-alleviation and cost-effectiveness analysis are taken. The Foundation implements major development oriented programmes, projects and events at the international, national and grass-roots levels which are seen as crucial to the promotion of sustainable livelihoods, peace and development and help break the vicious circle of unemployment, poverty and underdevelopment.
The Foundation which started as a local charity in Ghana on the shoulders of five (5) youth activists, has as at today grown up, with huge international alliances, to include the shoulders of zealous young people and adults in Africa and its Diaspora and other nations around the world for the advancement of the human kind. The growth of Abibiman Foundation has also led to the establishment of Abibiman United Kingdom (Abibiman UK), Abibiman Ghana (Abibiman GH) and Abibiman Global, and currently representing the Africa Regional Secretariat within Abibiman Global.

Journey for Peace and Development
Shaping Minds for the Future - Addressing Present Needs
Let the people speak, not the politicians....(SDG 16)
December 2020 is an election period in Ghana. It is a time when the population is required to elect leaders who can make the needs and wellbeing of the people a priority. It is against this backdrop that Abibiman Foundation has embarked on the 'Nkabom - Journey for Peace and Development' programme, involving a series of advocacy campaigns that seek to promote peace before, during and after elections 2020 through Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) - 16, Peace, justice and strong institutions. YOU can help us make this a reality!
We are engaging on a program that encourages open dialogue across political parties, religions, ethnicity, gender and age to publicly highlight what people really need....
Project 1 of the campaign, which we have already embarked on since July 2020, focuses on development webinar series targeting community-based organisations to promote cooperation, collaboration and partnerships for grassroots and community development.
Project 2 involves nationwide broadcast of interviews on peaceful elections with heads of state institutions and eminent Personalities.
During Project 3, we shall hold workshops for 60 Eminent Personalities, vital state institutions and agencies on the implementation of the Early Intervention Mechanism (EIMs) aimed at promoting cooperation, collaborations and partnerships for grassroots and community development and to manage potential tensions and conflict situations before they escalate.
Project 4 is an Elections Watch programme for the mobilisation of over 10,000 local electoral observation and monitoring groups from over 1,500 community-based organisations to generate data and report on the electoral processes and adherence to Covid - 19 protocols at polling stations across the country.
The NKABOM journey needs funding to make all of this happen. We need YOUR help to implement the various campaigns in the 'Nkabom - Journey For Peace and Development' programme to make sure citizens' voices are heard during these upcoming elections. We launched the programme in Accra on 22nd January 2020 with the backing of state institutions and organisations that stand for peace and sustainability as well as leading government agencies. These include Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), the Electoral Commission, the National Peace Council, the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) among others.
Abibiman Foundation is a non-political, non-partisan Foundation which seeks primarily to shape decisions that will enable the people of Ghana and the West African region in general to enhance their own potential in a sustainable way. We invest in sustainable community development programmes that benefit the masses, through poverty alleviation and the promotion of peaceful, safe, credible and fair elections. We use the UN Sustainable Development Goals as our ultimate guide.
