The Strength in Diversity Development Centre (SDDC), is an initiative of some faith based organizations in Nigeria, and like-minds whose focus are basically to promote inter-religious and intercultural understanding and collaborations with the vision to strengthen diversities for the entrenchment of religious and cultural Freedom, building bridges of Respect, Tolerance and Acceptance; and Conflict Transformation for national cohesion and prosperity.

The idea started as a project “Strength in Diversity Project” in June 2013 at the end of an International Peace Summit held at the Stafford Convention Centre, Houston Texas, U.S.A ., where a Strategic Action and Implementation Plan, a road map for interfaith collaboration and Religious understanding for peaceful co-existence in Nigeria was evolved.

Hence, faith based organizations that have been working on inter-religious and intercultural dialogue and mediation as well as peace and conflict negotiation and prevention came together with some notable international NGOs, institutions and governments to establish the Centre.
