Mission: Africa Center for Peace and Democracy works to bring about peace, democracy, and good governance in Africa. We focus on those areas in Africa where there is potential for violent conflict. Our approach is to learn about the conflicting interests in an area and work with the involved parties to come to a non-violent solution. ACPD does not take sides, but instead provides a neutral ground for mediation for all stakeholders in the conflict. We feel our work is extremely important in securing the future of Africa. When peace is achieved and maintained, children can become educated, infrastructure can be developed, and individuals can enjoy their basic human rights.
