IRIAD is an interdisciplinary knowledge, policy, and advocacy hub committed to research, tracking governance accountability, and promoting active citizenship

[IRIAD/IRIADEV @IRIADEV]

For 81 years, the UN has fostered dialogue over war, solidarity over fear, and cooperation over division.

At IRIADEV, we call for renewed commitment to the UN Charter to build peaceful, resilient and inclusive societies leaving no one behind.

Who bears the cost of unplanned urban growth? We all do.

Our cities are expanding fast, but not with planning.

A city that grows without a plan will move without direction.

FLOOD IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OUR NORM, WHEN IT RAINS

We demand an FCT where all residents are safe from floods, not just surviving them, but preventing them.

A flood-resilient FCT starts with all of us.

International Day of the Girl Child 2026

At IRIAD and The Electoral Hub, we believe a girl should be holding books, not bearing the burden of a marriage she is not mature for.

WHAT DOES A SAFER, GREENER & MORE RESILIENT FCT LOOK LIKE?
A resilient FCT is a city where systems work, where communities anticipate risks, respond fast, recover quickly, and adapt for the future.
