The Pankaj Award to End Conflict, supported by Regent Global and One Young World, seeks to identify and support outstanding young leaders working to prevent conflict, promote peace, and strengthen social cohesion in their communities and countries.
Ten finalists will receive funding ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 to scale their peacebuilding initiatives and a fully funded opportunity to attend the One Young World Summit 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa. The award specifically targets leaders addressing the root causes of violence, division, inequality, and exclusion.
