PCC PEACE OFFICE ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILING
Presbyterian Church in Cameroon Peace Work Unit (PCC Peace Office)
In order to ensure harmonious coexistence within the organization and a peaceful and stable Cameroon, the PCC in 2017, created a Peace Office (PO) with a mission to transform lives through Peace-building and conflict transformational programmes aimed at reducing violence that characterizes communities and promote peace, while further strengthening social cohesion. The office operates from a national level with its main office located at the PRESMIIC building (Opposite Buea Central Prison, Southwest region of Cameroon), with regional branches in the Northwest, West, Littoral and Center regions of Cameroon. It has a work force of 9 permanent personnel, 31 presbytery peace coordinators working as community focal persons, over 1000 community peace agents as members of the community peace clubs, 20 school peace club focal persons. Hinging on SDG 5, 8, 13, 16 & 17, the office offers services to all irrespective of their denomination or religion, political affiliation, race or gender at micro, meso and macro levels of the society. Specifically, the PCC Peace Office activities radiate on the following core thematic areas:

Our Commitment to Peace
At pccpeacework.org, our mission is to cultivate a world where peace prevails. We envision a future where every individual understands the importance of peace and justice. Our values are rooted in compassion, integrity, and dedication to non-violence. Through our diverse programs, including Peace Education, Peace Journalism, and the Peace and Justice Centre, we strive to educate and empower communities to resolve conflicts and promote harmony. Our work with Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and our Eyole initiative further exemplify our commitment to creating lasting peace.
Our Strategies and Approach
In our workshops, we use peer learning, experiential learning methods, group work, energizers, role play, sharing, practical contemporary situations and exchange roles to pass on knowledge and animate training sessions.
To build confidence, tolerance and understanding amongst participants during our workshops and trainings, we encourage networking, thematic focus pairing, self-image presentation, freedom of expression, social excursion/discoveries and cultural evening parties. We also focus on diversify and differences in recruiting participants to our programmes. We believe that the more people with differences meet and stay together, they learn, rediscover, become friendly, develop mutual respect and eventually break stereotypes and prejudices – and social cohesion is enhanced and sustained.
Our Mission and Vision
At pccpeacework.org, our mission is to cultivate a global society rooted in peace and justice. Through our comprehensive peace education initiatives, we aim to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to resolve conflicts non-violently and promote harmony. Our vision is a world where every person is empowered to contribute to a peaceful and just society.
