‘Nabni’ (نبني) - meaning ‘we build’ in Arabic, is an initiative that seeks to further the Building for Peace (B4P) approach in the Middle East and North Africa region.

We accompany local civil society partners, enabling them to support locally-led reconstruction processes in conflict-impacted communities in the region. Together with our partners, we aim to understand and address underlying drivers of tensions and to renew social relations in communities of focus, while creating new economic opportunities, supporting the restoration of infrastructure and services and strengthening local governance.

As a Facility, we seek to emphasise both the what – namely the outputs, and the how – the process through which these are achieved. We seek to support and build:
  • A common vision for a peaceful future that is articulated and shared by all groups within local communities.

  • Physical infrastructure, the restoration of basic services and livelihoods opportunities in ways that help address grievances and promote equitable access for all groups.

  • Strong partnerships with identified local actors.

  • Open, consultative opportunities and processes for learning and knowledge exchange.

Nabni, in Arabic ''We Build – نحن نبني'', is a Facility dedicated to advancing the Building for Peace approach in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through KfW Development Bank, the Facility is committed to impartiality and independence. Nabni does not align with or endorse any particular group or movement and is guided solely by its core principles.
