Satellite Offices
- Legal registration of Generations For Peace as an organisation under local laws. This is important to strengthen credibility and engagement with local governmental and non-governmental organisations, and to strengthen administrative effectiveness. Until separate registration becomes a priority, these needs are met through formal partnerships with Local Programme Partners.
- Administrative office capacity to support programmes and act as a coordination link with Generations For Peace Headquarters in Amman. Such offices respond to the growing demand coming from the volunteers and communities, and ensures programme sustainability. Until a separate office becomes a priority, these needs are met through value-in-kind support of a Local Programme Partners.
Such Satellite Offices – run by volunteers, for volunteers – help design, plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate ongoing local programmes in coordination with Generations For Peace Headquarters in Amman. The Offices are direct links between the Headquarters on one side and local community with its volunteers on the other, ensuring that the community needs are being met, and programme sustainability achieved.

Jelilat Abidoye began volunteering with Generations For Peace after she was trained as a third-generation Delegate in 2012. She completed her GFP Delegate training and later became certified as a Pioneer in 2014. She developed a passion for peacebuilding that led her to become actively involved in the designing and implementation of many GFP programmes, including Sport For Peace for Youth, Advocacy For Peace, and Empowerment For Peace. She has also assisted with the planning and implementation of GFP’s Advocacy For Peace Programme, which engaged 250 youth from 10 communities in Kaduna, and GFP’s Dialogue For Peace Programme, which engaged 60 adults from 10 ethnic groups in Kaduna. She has experience facilitating GFP Delegate trainings in Sport, Arts, Advocacy, and Dialogue as GFP’s peacebuilding tools for over 100 youth in Kaduna.
Jelilat grew up experiencing first-hand the effects of violence in her community, which resulted in her temporary displacement. Her experiences with inter-religious and inter-ethnic conflict in Kaduna spurred her interest in peacebuilding and led her to explore opportunities to make a change in her local community. This included leading basic literacy and numeracy lessons for local young girls and educating them on the dangers of stereotypes. While her journey with Generations For Peace started with little experience, her consistent commitment to promoting peaceful coexistence has allowed her to build her capacity in the field and carve her own path in the peacebuilding sector.
Jelilat currently serves as the Country Manager of GFP’s satellite office in Kaduna, Nigeria. Her greatest dream is to leave a legacy for her younger sisters and young girls around the world to follow. In her spare time, she loves to watch movies, read, and travel.
Experience with many international NGOs focusing on peace building, with community policies and development programmes, made Abdisalam Muse Hussein an ideal fit for Generations For Peace. At the International Training Camp he attended in 2009, Abdisalam expressed his enthusiasm when learning about the various educational components included in Generations For Peace’s approach to peace building. To prove that his enthusiasm was not just empty words, soon after Abdisalam’s return home, he began the very first Generations For Peace Puntland programmes in Garowe. Abdisalam began by training an additional 80 volunteers, and with them he then organised a series of programmes for children across Puntland, reaching 11,000 children by the end of the programme cycle. This outstanding reach through sport-based games was accompanied by extensive advocacy to local communities, in which he involved key figures of his community to ensure support and stakeholders involvement in his programmes. All of this made Abdisalam eligible for the leading role in the Generations For Peace Satellite Office in Puntland, Somalia. 
Paul Yithak Wel refused to join the Sudanese military service when he was 18 years old because he wanted to be a peace builder; instead, he was sent to prison. With his family, he suffered from the consequences of a decades-long war, facing death many times. He spent many years working as a humanitarian activist with refugees and IDPs across the territory of Sudan. Seeing through his work the consequences of war on livelihoods in Sudan, at the age of 40, Paul decided to enrol into agronomy studies at the University of Alexandria in Egypt. At the age of 50, he was introduced to peace building and the use of sport for that purpose through Generations For Peace training, which he attended in 2007. At the age of 54, well established as a Generations For Peace Pioneer, Paul received his Masters degree in Capacity Development in Canada. Together with other South Sudanese Pioneers, Paul implemented a series of programmes targeting children from both North and South – his was the first programme that united children from the two parts of what was then a united Sudan. As a true peace builder, Paul is now continuing his work in South Sudan, helping to promote better co-existence amongst ethnicities, tribes, and communities separated by conflict but united in a new country. For his extraordinary achievements, Paul was awarded Samsung Generations For Peace Award for Impact in 2012. He heads the Generations For Peace Satellite Office located in Juba, South Sudan.
