Peace is a skill, and it can be learned
The Peace Ambassadors Fellowship, run by CAYO with U-Report Ethiopia, built leadership, dialogue, conflict prevention and social cohesion skills in young people. It closed with a certificate ceremony.
Lasting peace is not only negotiated by institutions. It is kept by young people who can listen, talk and lead.
Peace Ambassadors Fellowship · with U-Report Ethiopia
The Peace Ambassadors Fellowship builds leadership, dialogue, conflict prevention and social cohesion skills in young people. It is one of CAYO’s flagship initiatives, and it is youth-led.
CAYO implemented the Peace Ambassadors Fellowship Program with U-Report Ethiopia, a UNICEF-supported platform for young people. The program is completed.
At the certificate ceremony, the fellows, young women and men, received their certificates in front of CAYO and U-Report Ethiopia banners.
The fellowship is part of a wider peace effort. Through the Somali Region Peacebuilding Actors Network (SR-PAN), CAYO brings peacebuilding actors together for coordination, knowledge exchange and joint advocacy.
