From local mediation to accountable public services — peace is built where people live.
Our Focus Areas
We strengthen locally-led peacebuilding and accountable governance of essential public services. By investing in mediation infrastructure, governance reform, and trust between communities and authorities, we turn day-to-day services — water, health, education — into entry points for stability and durable peace.

We advance the leadership of women and youth in peace, security and political processes — aligned with UNSCR 1325 (WPS) and 2250 (YPS). Our work expands safe and meaningful participation, builds advocacy and negotiation capacities, and links local voices to national and international tracks.

Waad Network developed as a specialized track within Sheba Youth Foundation, in partnership with Karama International, to provide a safe space for adolescent girls in Yemen.
