🕊 PEACE IS MORE THAN A DAY. IT IS A PROMISE WE MUST FULFILL. As we reflect on the International Day of Peace 2026, ELiDA reaffirms that even in conflict-affected communities across Ethiopia, peace is possible when women lead, young people shape solutions, and communities are empowered to rebuild trust and hope. We call on governments, donors, development partners, and communities to move beyond commitments and invest in locally led, inclusive, and sustainable peacebuilding. Because peace is not just what we celebrate. It is what we build together. Let us invest in peace—for everyone, everywhere, every day. Together, we can turn hope into action and build a peaceful future where no one is left behind. #Peacebuilding #WomenPeaceAndSecurity #InvestInPeace #YouthEngagement #ELiDAEthiopia
