The Centre for Crisis Prevention and
Peace Advocacy (CCPPA) began in 2009 as an unregistered non-profit
entity. It was known first as Centre for Crisis and Preventive Diplomacy
(CCPD). The impetus for the organization was a recognition of the high
rate and intractable nature of contemporary conflict formations in
Nigeria and other parts of the world. The founders of CCPPA believed
that a strong organization could help to support collaborative and,
thus, more effective peacebuilding, as well as empower Nigerians to
cultivate a peace and democratic culture.
After three years of informal
organisational development, the organization was incorporated in April,
2012 as the Centre for Crisis Prevention and Peace Advocacy (CCPPA) It
received funding from Premium Professional Consult, enabling it to hire
staff, open an office in Kaduna and Abuja and develop programmes. Other
small but appreciable means of income came in from charities, membership
dues, Board of trustee commitments and contributions by individuals.
CCPPA plays a major role in developing and disseminating innovative approaches to negotiation and conflict management, including collaboration between conflict resolution organizations and organizations in the fields of democratization, human rights, security and economic reconstruction.
