ABOUT US

Peer Exchange of African Communities for Empowerment (P.E.A.C.E) is a network and platform for peer exchange of scientific, academic and societal issues concerning Africans aimed at empowering the African communities. While focusing on issues concerning the African continent, the main objectives of PEACE are to dissect, analyse and find solutions to problems concerning Africa. It deals with research, empirical data collection, publications and dissemination of information through different media outlets and other channels.

PEACE is embarking on establishing an educational Centre (PEACE Institute) as a medium and long term programme and the institute intends to bring together intellectuals, scholars, communities and individuals of African heritage to exchange knowledge empowering to the African society. This will be done in a peer and participatory manner. Because of the project’s intensity, P.E.A.C.E is initiating capacity building processes, first in the region of its initiation, Cameroon.

PEACE does not only look into issues to resolve problems or find solutions for empowering communities but brings a critical touch in these endeavours. It strives to balance the equation of influence between the powerful minority and the marginalised majority. This means critically dissecting and analysing the social, political and economic issues concerning African communities and creating an arena for understanding the challenges of the 21 century and proposing critical methods of tackling such challenges.

Our mission

  • Section 1

    PEACE is networking and strives to further network with other institutions like Universities, research institutes, cooperatives, NGOs, traditional and cultural institutions, village and community groups from all backgrounds and aspects in the South West region of Cameroon. Our goal in the short term is to create an exchange networking on all levels in the socio-political, economic and ecological landscape of the civil and political society. This is being enabled by an already established office while an exchange and empowerment centre in the city of Victoria-Limbe is in process.

    We are embarking on establishing an educational Centre (P.E.A.C.E Institute) as a medium and long term programme and the institute intends to bring together intellectuals, scholars, communities and individuals of African heritage to exchange knowledge empowering to the African society. This is being done in a peer and participatory manner. Because of the Programme’s intensity, we are in a capacity building processes, first in the region of its initiation, Cameroon.

What people are saying

I have been following the development of PEACE since it's foundation. I thought from the beginning to do more to support it personally but unfortunately it has not been easy to cope with my daily activities in The VOICE. I found the financial situation quite frustrating at a time when there was so many call for financial support on face book online for the PEACE magazine. My  worries is that, financial support will always be needed for critical empowerment in such an independent structure. Therefore, it is important to know in which other ways PEACE can survive financially. I am also proud of the PEACE project focus and their engagements in contributing to the struggles against colonial injustice in Africa. In my opinion PEACE is a pioneering network in advancing the consciousness of African heritage in Africa and in diaspora. PEACE as an independent structure from western institutions is commendable and challenging politically to us all. We all have a prize to pay in the advancement of our political and cultural heritage.

The PEACE-FULL connections

When I encountered this platform earlier this year as a fresh graduate from the University, I had my first meeting with its CEO. This meeting served as an eye opener to my career as a journalist in the making. For the 10 months that I have been with this network, I will say, I have had my good and difficult experiences. It has been more of a learning process to me. Why do I say learning process?Despite being an organization, which intends to analyze and recommend alternative but critical solutions to problems affecting the African societies, PEACE is also an educational institution due to the learning activities it is concerned with. There is no activity it gets involves in, which does not entail learning. You think you know all? Wait, until PEACE opens your mind and eyes to critical issues. That is PEACE for me. Read more here
