Sustainable peace on the African continent. This might sound like an ideal that is only attainable in a future that is far, far away, but it is definitely an ideal worth fighting for. The Coalition for Peace in Africa (COPA), initiated and run by Africans, is operating from an African perspective. In COPA’s view, conflict situations need to be transformed into something positive, respecting the African approach, that leaves room to the different traditions and cultures that live in Africa.
COPA is a platform for anyone engaged in peace keeping and conflict transformation in Africa. COPA facilitates these organizations and individuals in their work, for instance through training, supplying information and offering network opportunities (the exchange of knowledge on different levels). COPA also plays an active role in the promotion of African-wide peace, for instance through lobbying. COPA’s domain involves the entire African continent, its central office is based in Nairobi.
