Peculiar Caleb is the President and Board Chair of the Africa Network Campaign on Education for All (ANCEFA), a continental civil society network advocating for equitable, inclusive, and quality education across Africa. In this role, she contributes to regional advocacy efforts aimed at strengthening education systems, advancing policy dialogue, and promoting accountability for education commitments across African countries.

She is also currently the National Moderator and Board Chair of the Civil Society Action Coalition on Education for All (CSACEFA), a coalition advocating for girls’ and women’s rights to quality education, especially in conflict-affected and violence-prone communities across Nigeria. In this role, she leads national advocacy efforts, strengthens civil society coordination, and consistently calls attention to the urgent need for education in emergencies as insecurity continues to force school closures and disrupt learning. She works closely with government actors, community leaders, and youth networks to ensure that girls in vulnerable communities remain at the center of education recovery, safety planning, and national policy dialogue.

Alongside her national and regional leadership, she serves as the Executive Director of Achieving Girl Pride Initiative (AGIP INITIATIVE), where she has spent over five years working directly with women, girls, and young people in crisis-affected communities. Through AGIP Initiative, she designed and led the S.A.F.E. Circles project in Adamawa State, an initiative that trained youth mentors within IDP camps to identify, support, and safely refer GBV survivors while creating trusted spaces where women could speak openly about their experiences. Her work blends community mobilization, youth engagement, and survivor-centered advocacy, reflecting her commitment to the pillars of UNSCR 1325 participation, protection, prevention, and recovery. She remains driven by the belief that sustainable peace begins at the community level and that women and girls must be supported and empowered to lead those efforts.
