UGANDA PEACE FOUNDATION INITIATIVE

GLOBAL ALLIANCE for MINISTRIES and DEPARTMENTS of PEACE

Perspective:  The Global Alliance began in October 2005 in London, at the First People’s Summit for Departments of Peace, which was attended by forty people from a dozen countries.  The Global Alliance convened its Second People’s Summit eight months later in Victoria, British Columbia. The Victoria Summit was attended by 60 people from 18 countries, including Peter Lukwiya from Uganda.  This summit was concluded with the First World Peace Forum, a series of workshops to connect and facilitate worldwide efforts for the establishment of national ministries of peace.  The Global Alliance’s Third Summit was held September, 2007, in Kisarazu, Japan, also with Peter participating.  The Fourth Summit was held in Costa Rica, September 2009.  It was the first to be hosted by a national government. Corina Simon, a member of WSYC, chaired the MDoP Global Summit’s Youth Exchange.
