🌍✨ Advancing Peace Through Leadership and Partnership ✨🌍

Demonstrating strong dedication and commitment to peacebuilding, the Country Director of COWACDI (Dauda Balami) participated in the Regional Learning Workshop for Civil Society Organizations across the Lake Chad region on Peacebuilding.

The workshop, convened by @lcbc, in partnership with @UNDP and supported by the @PeacebuildingFund, served as a vital platform for knowledge exchange, peer learning, and strengthening of locally led peacebuilding initiatives across the Lake Chad.

COWACDI’s engagement reflects our vision and our mission; together with partners, we continue to work towards sustainable peace, resilience, and inclusive development. 🌿🤝 #COWACDI #Peacebuilding #LCBC #UNDP #PeacebuildingFund
