This article explores interfaith dialogue as both a peacebuilding mechanism and a development framework that strengthens social cohesion, reduces prejudice, and promotes sustainable communities. By connecting dialogue with global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation, it highlights its potential to address structural barriers in low-resource and emerging economies. Practical applications include dialogue techniques, conflict resolution strategies, grassroots organizing, and media engagement. Case-based insights illustrate how interfaith initiatives foster inclusivity, empower marginalized groups, and generate collaborative solutions. The analysis positions interfaith dialogue not merely as symbolic exchange but as a transformative process of empowerment, resilience, and collective action.
