Peace Education and Development (PEAD) Foundation was founded in 2002, with a commitment to work for promotion of peace, non-violence, democracy and good governance. Since 2003, PEAD in collaboration with several partner organizations has been conducting training workshops for various stakeholders; teachers, students, civil- servants, police officers, religious clerics, media representatives and other civil-society representatives, on issues such as peace & conflict management, civic education, democracy, good governance, peace building and human rights education.

PEAD essentially develops and implements programs for all segments of the Pakistani society with a view to replace violent attitudes and reactions with cautious and calculated responses to different conflict situations. All available instruments, tools and forums from individual to group advocacies to using the power of media, are put to an optimal utilization to educate the target communities. 

Youth are given particular importance in PEAD’s programs and they generally are focused in the educational institutions and in social cluster groups. They are also contacted at many other available forums according to the need and type of the program.
