Successful partnerships with international entities, including donors, enable RLOs impact. These connections support RLOs’ ability to fundraise, spot opportunities for regional and international advocacy, solicit support from international actors when seeking solutions for intractable local problems, and build rapport and partnerships with like-minded organizations operating around the world. Without these connections,  RLOs impact may be more limited. Learn more:🔗 https://bit.ly/3Z2ZP9G #RefugeesLead #RRLI

🌍🔎 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵-𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 On 9th December 2015 the United Nations Security Council approves Resolution 2250, on 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. It was the first resolution to officially recognize the essential role of young people in promoting peace and security, and it validated youth-led efforts laying the foundation for empowering young peacebuilders worldwide. Today, almost a decade after, our work on this topic brought us to analyze the growing critical need for a more youth-sensitive conflict analysis. 🔎As Celina Del Felice highlighted in her latest insight, traditional conflict analyses often fall short in two key areas: 1️⃣ Recognize how young people are uniquely affected by conflicts 2️⃣ Acknowledge their agency as active contributors to peace processes ⚙️ What can we do? We must adapt our analytical tools to better include #youth and intergenerational dimensions. Such an approach not only maps the distinct challenges young people face but also ensures they are engaged as key #stakeholders in #peacebuilding. ➡️ By embracing youth-sensitive and intersectional conflict analysis, we open doors to designing peacebuilding activities that are not only more inclusive but also more effective in addressing root causes and fostering sustainable solutions. 🔗 To read the full insight, LINK in the comments
