Mission

CTA contributes to building lasting peace after war or violent conflict in Africa by aiding the innovative, local initiatives and ideas of survivors to help their own communities cope and recover.

Why?

Based on history and on-the-ground experience, CTA knows that peace will only last when it is built collaboratively from within conflict-affected communities.  These local efforts have a high potential to transform stability into sustainable peace, yet they are often limited in their impact and scope.  Research, information, and multimedia are low cost, effective ways to strengthen such efforts.

How?

CTA operates in partnership with local institutions and organizations building peace in conflict-affected communities.  CTA and its partners then provide tailored research, information, and multimedia assistance to local peace leaders, including traditional and religious leaders, civil society actors, academic institutions, and survivors.  CTA’s current work is in northern Uganda.
