SKC Joins CSPPS as Core Group Member and Country Focal Point for the Philippines

The Sigaw ng Kabataan Coalition (SKC) proudly reaffirms its commitment to amplifying youth voices by joining the Civil Society Platform for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (CSPPS) as a Core Group Member.

The CSPPS is a global network of civil society organizations working to support peacebuilding, conflict prevention, and statebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected settings. It plays a key role in advancing the goals of the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS) and supporting the implementation of the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States—a landmark framework that promotes inclusive politics, legitimate institutions, and effective pathways to peace and development.

Being part of CSPPS means contributing to a collective effort that bridges grassroots voices and high-level policy platforms, ensuring that communities affected by conflict are heard in national and global decision-making processes. It aligns with SKC’s mission to ensure that Filipino youth are meaningfully represented in conversations that shape peace, governance, and inclusive development.

We believe that peace in diversity is a national priority, and that there can be no sustainable development without peace. Through CSPPS and other multilateral spaces, we continue to advance the participation of young people in building transparent, resilient, and people-centered systems of governance.

Calling youth leaders and peace advocates:
Be part of this growing movement. Help shape our country’s voice in global peace and statebuilding efforts.
