Through ongoing cooperation agreements and specific partnerships with UN agencies, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, civil society groups and States, the International Dialogue Centre works towards the accomplishment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. KAICIID, an intergovernmental organization with a unique nature, offers its convening power, dialogue facilitation skills and capacity building expertise to promote social cohesion and build peaceful societies through intercultural and interreligious dialogue.

With the Centre’s methodology and access to key actors in conflict areas, we work towards transformative social change by empowering religious leaders and policymakers to participate in a common dialogue for peace.

The Centre upholds the UN Declaration on Human Rights, the UNESCO Culture Conventions and their operational activities. Similar to UNESCO’s approach to the 2030 Agenda, KAICIID aims at contributing to peaceful societies and inclusion, by enhancing the exercise of fundamental freedoms, strengthening participatory systems of dialogue to foster respect for cultural and religious diversity and promoting gender equality.
