FEPS uses the approaches co-operation, solidarity and integration at local, national and international levels. It has established membership and networks with other NGOs and international organisations.

Fundamental to FEPS's approach is the use of young people’s energy to develop and improve their communities. Membership is open to everyone who shares its values. FEPS's objectives are:

  • To work for peacebuilding, peacemaking and peacekeeping.
  • To spread human rights and peace culture.

  • To disseminate the concept of democracy and good governance among people.
  • To combat bad practices that affect women’s and children’s health.
  • To eradicate poverty.
  • To rehabilitate areas affected by wars, disputes and natural disasters;.
  • To achieve the objectives of integrated rural development by social, medical and cultural mobilisation.
  • To prepare and develop research projects and studies which allign with the objectives of the society.
FEPS has published several training manuals on conflict resolution, leadership skills, democracy, and gender and human rights. It has also established monthly meetings on a range of different subjects related to peace, and has developed workshops for young people on peacebuilding and democracy. It has learnt that, after 21 years of suffering due to the civil war, a lot of work is needed among young people for reconciliation and to build a modern Sudanese state. FEPS hopes to spread this initiative to all parts of Sudan.
