The National Youth Peace Dialogue (NYPD) is a flagship peacebuilding initiative of ReadyToLeadAfrica (RTLA) designed to foster youth-driven conversations around peace, civic responsibility, and national cohesion. Following a series of youth-led peace accords and election monitoring efforts, NYPD served as a strategic platform for bringing together young leaders, policymakers, civil society actors, and community influencers from across Nigeria to engage in dialogue on sustaining peace during and after electoral cycles.
Held in the wake of major electoral activities, the dialogue focused on themes such as:
-
Preventing Electoral Violence
-
Youth Inclusion in Peacebuilding
-
Social Cohesion and National Unity
-
Digital Responsibility and Countering Hate Speech
Through keynote addresses, panel sessions, and breakout discussions, the dialogue generated youth-driven resolutions on fostering peace and inclusive development. These resolutions are intended to inform RTLA’s advocacy efforts and community peace action plans.
