Bodhi conducted a Stakeholder and Initiatives Mapping for Interpeace and partners, focusing on youth peace and security initiatives in the region. The study provided an overview of existing programmes, their approaches, and the challenges they face. We analysed the current landscape to identify needs and opportunities for enhancing the inclusion of young men and women in peace processes at local, national, and regional levels. Based on our findings, Bodhi developed a guidance note to inform the design and implementation of the "Youth Innovation Lab for Peace (YouthLab)" project. This note included recommendations for stakeholder engagement strategies, youth training content, and advocacy approaches. The mapping exercise and subsequent guidance aimed to strengthen youth participation in peacebuilding efforts and improve the effectiveness of youth-focused peace initiatives in the region.
