We are an indigenous Nigerian non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about the exponential rate at which our population is growing and advocating for non-coercive population control through family planning and socio-cultural reengineering.
The organization encourages initiatives that promote sexual and reproductive health and rights; helping people make informed choices towards having small families. These initiatives are geared towards tackling climate change and achieving quality-life in a sustainable planet.
PEA Initiative achieves these goals by:
Grassroot engagement about population issues Awareness through PEA initiative radio/tv programs. Providing news and commentaries through PEA Initiative blog and social media handles. Advocacy against legislations/existing norms that discourage choice and gender equity. Organization of PEA initiative events. Producing PEA Initiative merchandise.
PEA Initiative stands against any form of coercion to achieve its objectives. We firmly believe in the fundamental human rights of people. We therefore engage in public awareness on population issues and help individuals make informed choices about their family size for an improved quality-life and protection of the biodiversity by lesser human activities on the environment.
To put population talks on the front burner of national discourse in Nigeria influencing more data-oriented policy making and driving consciousness of the climate change due to overpopulation and overconsumption.
To encourage sustainability by becoming a leading voice in Africa and beyond, that mirrors how human problems emanate from overpopulation; and creating the much-needed awareness to the extent that more people make informed choices towards having smaller families.
