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.

A detailed overview of World Vision’s global initiative to measure how children experience God’s love through hope, combining theology, child psychology, and scientific validation to create a cross-cultural tool for spiritual well-being.

In many parts of Zambia, children continue to face significant challenges that threaten their safety, development, and future.

These issues not only jeopardise the well-being of boys and girls but also hinder broader efforts toward sustainable development and social cohesion.

A practical guide for World Vision teams and partners to implement best-practice environmental management in field programs, operations, and facilities.

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

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.

Dr Kathryn Kraft, Global Research Technical Director, provides insight about how Faith-based intangibles—like spiritual resilience, moral authority, and empathy—are powerful yet often overlooked drivers of peacebuilding. She reflects on how integrating these unseen forces into humanitarian programming can deepen impact and foster more authentic, community-rooted change, especially in humanitarian responses.
