Thank you @jagan_chapagain @ifrc for hosting our Young #Peace Mediators in #Geneva. Engagements like this turn #YPS from an agenda into action. We look forward to continuing the dialogue across generations, sectors, and actors. 👏
#YoungMediators #Dialogue #Diplomacy
Fascinating to discuss the future of the humanitarian system with a truly impressive group of young mediators brought together by Finland, South Africa and @Interpeace_Org. Listening to their experiences of locally led action, mediation in crises, and technological innovations - and blockers - in the humanitarian space left me enthused about the next generation of leaders.

Trust is eroding. Conflicts are rising.
In Raisina Files 2026, Interpeace President @ikakoma1 argues that investing in peace is a strategic necessity, not an idealistic stance.
Read “Responding to Global Uncertainty by Investing in Peace”
Mar 10
In this edition of Raisina Files, @ikakoma1 writes about persistent conflict and the choice that the world has to make: “to persist with militarised and reactive approaches, or to renew political and #financial commitments to inclusive, preventive, and locally grounded peacebuilding.”

Youth engagement remains a central pillar of @Interpeace_Org's programming. We were pleased to partner with @Unity_MemoryRw to bring together youth, members of Rwandan diaspora in Europe, to facilitate an open & inclusive intergenerational dialogue on Rwanda’s future.

The dialogue that took place on 21 Feb in Paris, focused on Rwanda’s recovery & resilience, urging young Rwandans to promote unity & cohesion, as enablers for resilience post the 1994 genocide, which left consequences on social fabric and mental health.

Interpeace is engaging global partners to connect mine action with peacebuilding. President @Interpeace_Org @ikakoma1 & colleague Menna Waguih met with @theGICHD Director Amb. Privitelli to explore how clearing mines can restore trust & strengthen pathways to lasting peace.
Mine action is more than removing landmines and explosives — it helps rebuild trust and support lasting peace. Our Director Amb. Tobias Privitelli welcomed Itonde Kakoma, President of Interpeace, and his colleague Menna Waguih to disscuss the links between mine action and peace.

From 281 focus groups across 44 countries to global consultations, the study amplified youth voices & exposed the violence of exclusion. A decade on, @Simpson_YPS shared new UNSC resolutions & growing youth-led movements. He calls for youth leadership to be renewed & localised.
