elbarlament
Elbarlament (“parliament” in Arabic) is a peacebuilding and democracy support organisation, with a special focus on empowering women and youth. We implement democracy support and peacebuilding projects in four thematic fields: Arts and Culture; Democracy and Civic Education; Environment and Climate Change and Women, Peace and Security. We support parliaments, governments, civil society actors and international institutions, implementing projects and delivering consulting services in German, English, French and Arabic. We believe in the transformative power of culture and the arts as well as inclusive dialogue, especially in contexts of state fragility. Through our work we aim to promote peaceful coexistence between all groups in society, foster democratic norms and practices, support dialogue between civil society and political decision makers, and increase environmental awareness and contribute to mitigating climate change-related conflicts.

Senegal: Empowering Youth to Shape Public Transport Policy

This INSPIRED 360 – Civic Engagement Project initiative takes place in the framework of the WYDE Civic Engagement project. It is built on a simple but powerful idea: sustainable youth political participation requires collective organisation, stronger advocacy skills, and real access to decision-making spaces. By bringing together structured youth organisations, informal Jakarta driver collectives, and non-organised young people, the project seeks to build inclusive coalitions capable of influencing both local and national reforms.

Joint Ministerial Training of Trainers (ToT) in Baghdad

From 9–11 February 2026, a Joint Ministerial Training of Trainers (ToT) brought together representatives from the Ministries of Defence, Interior, Justice, Labour and Social Affairs, and Environment to strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration on the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and its intersection with climate change and security. This was part of the Women Taking the Lead project.

PATH – Peace Advocacy Training Hub

PATH: Peace Advocacy Training Hub was a five-month project dedicated to strengthening the leadership and advocacy capacities of young women peacebuilders from Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Across these countries, women continue to play a vital yet under-recognised role in peacebuilding and democratic reform. Despite systemic barriers, ranging from political exclusion to shrinking civic space, women are mediators, advocates, and community leaders. PATH responds to these realities by investing in their leadership, skills, and regional solidarity.
