| Purpose of the organization: | ACA works under the following strategic objectives: 1. To build capacities of communities in positive conflict resolution mechanisms including dialogue, mediation and nonviolence. 2. To enhance access to justice through human rights education and strengthening of community governance and justice systems. 3. To increase capacities of communities to effectively participate in good governance and democratization processes. To our credit are several areas of competitive advantage that single us out in the peace building industry. These include our unique approach to peace building, in which we integrate the crosscutting issues of gender, nonviolence and human rights. Additionally, we possess the unique ability to link grassroots peace activism with global peace movements, which is synergetic indeed. Our bottom-up approach to community empowerment through beneficiary participation leads to appropriate responses to expressed needs. We also ensure sustainability of our interventions through formation of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) by our alumni. We provide them with technical support and leadership training to increase their chances of becoming self propelled and self sustained vehicles for sustainable development. |
