What's A.P.D.I ?
The African Peace Institute sets out to provide a platform for peace education, with focus on two major segments: - Cultural Peace Issues and Policy Issues. It is our understanding that citizens of any community in pursuance of happiness, must seek to develop their communities, nations, regions and continent. That in so doing, people must fully understand and actively implement peace values, non-violence, social justice, and good governance as prerequisites for sustainable development. That to maintain peace, the absence of war must not only ideological, but must become a reality that is sustained through peace education, systematic and total disarmament and control of conventional and small arms proliferation. The African Peace Institute therefore in its program and infrastructural design has taken into consideration cultural and policy peace issues by providing facilities for continuous and certificate learning for aspiring peace activists, and a home for peace exchange programs. It will provide an ideal environment for mediation and dialogue between individuals, communities, and nations as well as a solemn environment for national, regional, continental and global peace programming.
