This year’s International Day of Peace theme, “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” reminds us that peace is not simply the absence of conflict, it is built through dialogue, inclusion, dignity and everyday actions.

At PACE Institute for Research and Development, we reaffirm our commitment to nurturing a culture of peace, empowering communities, and supporting young people to become everyday architects of a more peaceful and just society.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2026

As the world marks the 2026 International Youth Day, themed “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations” PACE Institute for Research and Development (PIRD), as a youth-led organisation, celebrates young people and the energy, ideas and courage they bring to their communities. Young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow. They are already leading, building peace and creating change today.

We believe young people deserve more than a seat at the table. They deserve the opportunity to speak, lead, shape decisions and be part of the solutions to the challenges facing our communities. As a youth-led organisation, we remain committed to creating spaces where young people can lead, connect and contribute meaningfully to peace and development.

This International Youth Day, we celebrate every young person choosing dialogue over violence, hope over fear and collaboration over division. Different contexts. Common aspirations. Shared responsibility for peace.

Happy International Youth Day 2026!

Happy birthday Dandy Leyiri. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead filled with good health, happiness and continued success. Thank you for all the valuable contributions to PIRD. May this special occasion bring you much joy and fulfillment.

At the recently concluded Green Resurrection Seminar, Mr Jacob Daniel Leyiri facilitated a session titled "The Nexus Between Home Farming and Neighbourhood Security." He traced a chain of cause and effect. Overpopulation places increasing pressure on natural resources, climate change disrupts agriculture through drought, flooding, and desertification, and the resulting food insecurity and economic hardship fuel conflict, from farmer herder clashes to rising crime in our neighbourhoods.

This is exactly why the conversation matters to our work on climate security. Food security, environmental resilience, and community safety are not separate issues. They are interconnected parts of the same system.

Mr. Daniel's presentation showed that home farming is far more than a way to grow food. It is a practical climate security solution that strengthens household resilience, improves nutrition and livelihoods, fosters safer and more cohesive communities, and contributes directly to the achievement of SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).
