BACKGOUND
Our Background
Christ Ambassadors for Peace (CAP) is an independent nonprofit Christian Organisation dedicated to addressing the root causes of conflicts in South Sudan and the nations. We offer inclusive, and constructive conflict transformation processes, that focuses on addressing conflicts between individuals, political groups, tribal groups, and grassroots communities. These conflict transformation processes seek to provide an alternative to acrimonious and confrontational conflicts that are often characterised by deep distrust among parties, resulting in destructive violence.
The uniqueness of these inclusive processes is that they are deliberately designed to address broken relationships among the conflict parties and collaboratively work towards trust building for equitable and transparent relationships and peacebuilding.
Vision
Sustainable Peace in the Nations
We envision a future where violence is not an option for resolving conflicts, but one where every conflict offers citizens the opportunity to transform their relationships for lasting peace and development.
Mission
To accelerate the transition from violent conflicts to sustainable peace in the nations.
Purpose
We exist to make peace in South Sudan and beyond.
CAP, therefore, is a platform that provides a safe space to discuss difficult conversations among conflict parties and build the foundation for a dialogue process that ultimately will lead to addressing the root causes of conflict, and reconciliation. We hope that these processes will bring an end to the prolonged violent conflicts in South Sudan and many other nations, while also enabling constructive means to resolve future conflicts.
