Our peacebuilding workshop asked children, youth, local authorities, and faith leaders to imagine a more peaceful Iraq led by the voices of the next generation.

World Vision Iraq’s 2025–2027 Peacebuilding Roadmap positions peace as a cross-cutting driver of the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus, moving beyond one-off dialogues to system-level transformation. It embeds peacebuilding across education, livelihoods, protection, governance, climate programming, and disaster risk reduction (DRR) — linking peacebuilding with anticipatory action to strengthen community resilience.

World Vision Zambia was recently awarded First Prize for the Best NGO Exhibit at the 97th Agricultural and Commercial Show of Zambia, which was held from 29th July to 4th August in Lusaka. The accolade recognises the organisation's outstanding efforts in community transformation, child support, and sustainable development across the country.

Iraq's most vulnerable children shared how they believe peace is possible, while the country faces displacement, political violence, and reintegration issues.

In the war-torn east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, thousands of children have been orphaned by ongoing massacres and left vulnerable to trauma and despair. Through faith-based initiatives like the Let the Children Come program, local heroes like Hélène offer shelter, psychosocial support, and Bible study groups that help heal deep emotional wounds. Stories like Isaac’s, who regained his voice after years of silence, show how hope and resilience are being rebuilt, even as the urgent needs of countless others remain.

Moving beyond one-off dialogues to system-level transformation, this roadmap embeds peacebuilding in to multiple programmes, anticipatory action and community resilience.
