PROCMURA has intra-Christian and inter-Christian and Muslim programmes. The Intra Christian programme is the core Business of PROCMURA, with the objective of strengthening the capacity of the churches in witness and constructive engagement with Muslims for peace and peaceful co-existence. The inter-Christian and Muslim programmes are aimed at strengthening the capacity of Christian and Muslim religious leaders, women and youth to collaborate and cooperate to attend to issues of mutual concern.
The inter-Christian and Muslim programmes also bring together civil society, secular and state actors to attend to pertinent issues that affect the wider society and to which religion is sometimes implicated. The details of these programmes always come in a strategic plan informed by contemporary emerging issues that require a lot of attention. In the broader sense, however, PROCMURA’s programme focus attends to the following:
The Women and Peace Building programme acknowledges and appreciates the fact that even though women play a major role in peace building, their participation at high level decision making processes, in some countries around Africa, has remained low.

The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) embarks on advocacy and religious diplomacy that impacts on national governments, regional bodies such as the East African Community (EAC); the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS); the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD); the Southern African Development Community (SADC); the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) and the continental body, the African Union (AU).
PROCMURA focuses on ensuring that the churches in Africa have well trained personnel who are equipped with knowledge in Islam and Christian-Muslim relations and are capable of understanding and interpreting the complexity of Christian-Muslim relations in Africa. This will ensure effective delivery of services and counsels to the PROCMURA constituency, the churches and Christians in Africa.
