Why Choose Invisible Light?
76% of children live in conflict-affected countries—yet remain largely invisible in policy and programming.
Young people are often forced to pick sides; inclusive “third spaces” must be created to enable them to co-build peace.
Let Invisible Light be Part of the Solution
Invisible Light's Vision
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Success is measured through IL’s Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) framework, tracking both what we do (outputs) and the change it creates (outcomes) to strengthen research, policy, funding, and practice through evidence-based accountability and continuous learning.
Outputs
We measure partnerships; research, assessments, evaluations, and policy briefs; peacebuilding, and child- and youth-centered programs, media, training, and technology; strengthened local capacity; and collaborations across NGOs, governments, donors, universities, and communities.
Short- and Medium-Term Outcomes
1. Stronger Cross-Sector Systems
Research, policy, funding, and practice become better connected through ethical communication, responsible media and AI, collaboration, and evidence-informed decision-making.
2. More Effective Organizations
Local partners strengthen evidence-based programs through research, evaluation, and locally grounded practice.
3. Empowered Young People—Beyond Resilience
Young people become recognized as co-designers and leaders of peace, developing knowledge, skills, and leadership to shape programs, media, policy, & the UN Youth, Peace and Security agenda and its implementation.
Long-Term Outcomes
Transformed Communities
Evidence-driven, child- & youth-centered peacebuilding becomes embedded in education, policy, media, funding, and civic life. By strengthening and scaling local capacity, IL advances sustainable, positive, and holistic peace in which children and youth co-lead the transformative social change.
