How Programme Development across Youth, Women, Climate, Health & More Drove Real Advancement
2025 will be remembered as the year Global Peace advanced its programme development, focusing on youth and the rollout of training for country coordination teams. Global Peace believes that when you invest in youth and peace, you invest in every area of human development.
“Global wars and conflict steal years from development. However, promoting Global Peace restores and brings about a peaceful humanity. In 2025, programme development across sectors and the training of our country coordination teams were our best tools for progress. We designed Global Peace programmes to contribute meaningfully to every sector of global development, for the future of all humanity,” said Kobla Asamani, Global Coordinator General of Global Peace.
As an initiative of the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes, Global Peace spent 2025 expanding and deepening programme development across all continents. From children, youth, and women to climate, health, education, food security, and human rights, Global Peace developed programmes that turned dialogue into action.
OUR PROGRAMMES WERE PEOPLE-CENTERED
Youth: Digital Youth, Real Peace
Our flagship youth programme scaled up across many countries, reaching 50,000+ participants.
Women for Peace & Prosperity
In 2025, Global Peace continued its women dialogue platforms to create avenues for women leaders to address economic security, gender-based violence, entrepreneurship, and leadership in peace processes.
Children for Peace Fora
Global Peace advocated for countries to promote peace among children by integrating peace and conflict resolution, digital citizenship, and the SDGs into primary and secondary education.
Human Rights & Humanitarian
Global Peace advanced its Human Rights Dialogue Circles by partnering with local CSOs to bring the programme to communities, authorities, and aid workers to prevent rights violations during crises. We advocated for early warning mechanisms in displacement settings and for reducing community tensions during aid distribution.
Climate, Environment & Biodiversity
In 2025, Global Peace advocated for Green Peace Dialogues in partnership with youth climate groups, linking climate adaptation to peacebuilding. The focus was on water conflict, biodiversity loss, and climate migration. Global Peace also supported local climate action plans developed with youth, traditional leaders, municipalities, and academia.
Food Security
Through the Global Peace Food Security Systems Forum, we entreated farmers, traders, industry players, and local government in food-insecure regions to resolve resource disputes and improve market access. We supported community agreements to reduce post-harvest losses and improve coordination during drought.
Health
The Annual Global Peace Health Forum called for adherence to international standardized protocols for health workers and communities during public health challenges, focusing on vaccine trust, misinformation, and equitable access.
Education
Our Annual Education Forum remained central to our progress. Global Peace resolved that there is a need for a Peace Education Framework to support the training of educators to teach critical thinking, empathy, and constructive dialogue for peaceful education for all.
Training of Country Leaders
Global Peace hosted a training workshop for Country Leaders and their accompanying teams to mark the beginning of the establishment of Country Coordination Teams. This will lay a strong and consolidated foundation for global structures at the Global, Continental, and Country levels. The workshop will also lead to the mobilization and organization of young leaders with ideas such as (Innovators, Influencers, Investors, and Implementers) from across the world, toward building a better world. From 100 Dialogue Leaders to millions of Bridge Builders, Global Peace will advance its vision through cooperation, collaboration, and co-creation. It is significant to note that the Global Peace training workshop for country leaders and coordination teams will provide them with the technical and managerial know-how needed to meet the goals of Global Peace.
“2025 showed us that peace is not sector-specific,” said Kobla Asamani, Global Coordinator General of Global Peace. “Global Peace is the best tool for progress for women, for youth, for the climate, for health, for food, and for all of us. In 2026, we will make Global Peace even more instrumental in the lives of all humanity.”
Global Peace remains committed to Digital Youth, Real Peace, and real progress by working with young people, for young people, and by young people.
