Platforms
KAICIID’s dialogue platforms, based on interreligious partnerships, address the main drivers of conflict through policy and advocacy, as well as local dialogue initiatives at the grassroots level. Our regional platforms convene diverse high-ranking religious leaders, harnessing their authority, influence, and vast numbers of followers. They also bring together members of grassroots organizations, with a focus on women and young people, to multiply our reach and turn dialogue into action.
