PAGED Foundation, as Co-Lead of the Peace Building and Social Cohesion Sector, Adamawa State, and Co-Chair of the Central Planning Committee for the 2026 International Peace Day (IPD) Celebration, continues to support inclusive peacebuilding, social cohesion, conflict prevention and multi-stakeholder collaboration across the State.
In furtherance of this commitment, Comrade Suleiman A. Abubakar, representing PAGED Foundation in his capacity as Interim Co-Lead of the Peace Building and Social Cohesion Sector and Co-Chair of the Central Planning Committee, co-chaired a strategic stakeholder planning meeting with members of the Central Planning Committee, representatives of security agencies, and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) operating in Adamawa State.
The meeting provided an important platform for stakeholders to:
• Strengthen coordination and collaboration
• Clarify roles and responsibilities
• Identify strategic priorities and potential challenges
• Strengthen security and operational coordination
• Promote meaningful community participation and youth engagement
• Advance disability inclusion and gender-responsive peacebuilding
• Support conflict prevention, early warning and early response
• Plan for a safe, inclusive, participatory and impactful 2026 International Peace Day celebration
Following extensive deliberations, stakeholders reaffirmed their collective commitment to work together to ensure that the 2026 International Peace Day Celebration is organised in a professional, coordinated and inclusive manner, while creating meaningful opportunities for dialogue, peace education, reflection, community engagement and the promotion of social cohesion.
The meeting further highlighted the importance of collaboration among government institutions, security agencies, CSOs, NGOs, traditional and religious institutions, development and humanitarian partners, youth groups, women-led organisations, persons with disabilities and other relevant stakeholders in strengthening a sustainable culture of peace across Adamawa State.
As Co-Lead of the Peace Building and Social Cohesion Sector, PAGED Foundation remains committed to strengthening collective action for peace, inclusion, protection, dignity and sustainable solutions.
The 2026 International Peace Day Celebration is more than an event—it is an opportunity to bring diverse stakeholders together around a shared vision of a peaceful, inclusive, resilient and socially cohesive Adamawa State, where every individual and community can contribute to and benefit from sustainable peace.
PAGED Foundation is proud to contribute its institutional experience, partnerships and commitment to this collective process and looks forward to continued collaboration with all stakeholders as preparations advance.
Together, we can strengthen the foundations for sustainable peace in Adamawa State.
Peace is not the responsibility of one institution, one sector or one individual—it is a collective responsibility.
