Equipping practitioners, faith leaders, and communities with knowledge and skills to transform conflict and cultivate lasting peace, grounded in African contexts since 2001.
With skills in conflict resolution, transformation, and prevention, as well as community building and reconciliation. Grounded in an African perspective, our courses emphasise non-violence, do no harm, justice, human dignity, and right relationships.
Founded in 2001 under Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), API has trained 950+ practitioners from 35+ African nations.
Amani is API's in-house learning platform for accepted training participants. All 8 annual training courses are delivered through Amani. Access at learn.africapeaceinstitute.org.
The content was deeply relevant to our current challenges. API allowed us to share real experiences from our countries and arrive at a global perspective I now bring to every mediation.

"Skills I apply in my work every day"
The PME course exceeded my expectations. The facilitator's methodology and quality of interaction gave me skills I now apply directly in evaluation work across the region.

"Christian values at the heart of peace"
I understood that API truly values human dignity. The facilitators promote Christian values that have shaped both my ministry and community work deeply.
