The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA), in partnership with the Danish Mission Council Development Department (DMCDD), held the first ever international conference on FoRB in Nairobi, Kenya, from 1-4th July, 2019. The conference brought together more than 43 delegates from 17 countries across Africa.
PROCMURA’s overall goal as stated in the manual of order is “To see an African continent where Christians and Muslims uphold the principles of religious freedom and all that it entails”.
This year and subsequent years, PROCMURA has decided to initiate programmes that will enable it to eventually achieve its overall goal. As a result of this, continental, regional, countries and grassroots level programmes have been planned for this year and subsequent years.
Women leadership and participation in all levels in the society is an undeniable strategic force for sustainable development and peace. This was a significant point of departure for the twenty five (25) Christian women leaders from the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) constituencies in Africa, meeting at the PROCMURA Central office around the discussion on women, decision making and peace building. The discussions and inquiries corroborated the United Nations affirmation of the role of women in conflict prevention, as well as the African Union nexus between gender, development and peace as spelled out in the Agenda 2063.
All roads were leading to kamukunji, Nairobi as the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) recognised women in their particularity and peculiarity in the promotion of peace and contribution to the economy and development of the nation during the celebration of the International Women’s Day.
