Welcome to CCECP

Centre for Community Empowerment in Conflict and Peacebuilding is a Non-Governmental Organization dedicated to supporting local people to stop conflicts, elections and other related violence and build lasting peace in all fragile localities and environment. The Centre addresses issues of cultural and structural violence in communities, where contexts include inter-tribal, inter-ethnic, inter-religious violence; gender inequality; exclusion of minorities (IDPs, refugees, people with a disability); post-conflict trauma response; and reconciliation and reintegration. Additionally, our approach integrates conflict sensitivity and the full participation and empowerment of girls and women

We work with local people to stop war destroying lives.

In every conflict areas, there are local people tackling the triggers of violence, defusing deadly tensions, healing the divides of conflict and rebuilding lives after conflict has torn communities apart.
