Africa Peace Education Initiative
The Africa Peace Education Initiative is a 30-year project conceived by a number of African and African American communities, organizations, and individuals in the United States of America.

The infusion of this curriculum in select African nations, is a means of introducing the current and future generations to the principles of peace and nonviolence, giving our youth the tools to develop a participatory democracy, free of regional or ethnic strife.
