One Peace

One Peace is an apolitical, interfaith, and non-profit peacebuilding association registered in the Republic of Cameroon. The association was founded in August 2018 by Dr. Nyadi Francios and peers in their mid-20s. One Peace’s charter members come from diverse fields including peacebuilding, international development, research, agriculture and agribusiness, and information and communications technology. We are all dedicated to advancing peacebuilding and conflict prevention in line with our strategic priority areas. Recognising that over 600 million young people live in fragile and conflict-affected contexts worldwide, and being directly affected by the conflict in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon, we decided to take action by engaging in peacebuilding. Our primary objective is to build resilient communities by empowering community members with the skills necessary to effectively participate in peacebuilding, conflict prevention, countering violent extremism and decision-making processes, particularly on issues that affect them. Our peacebuilding strategy is based on three pillars: (i) research (ii) community-driven solutions and (iii) policy advocacy. Research informs our peacebuilding activities, which are implemented with the full participation of community members and our findings from extensive research and community engagement guide us to produce policy-relevant documents and support our advocacy efforts.
