A group of peace communicators from different professions have established a network to contribute to peace building efforts in the country.

The network, National Network of Peace Communicators (NNPC), was the result of a training program ‘Systemic Conflict Transformation for Peace Communicators’, organized by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) a few days earlier.

The main objectives of the network are to create awareness on peace, research and publications of peace related issues, peace volunteer training, capacity building activities and others.

The members of the network are academicians, researchers, trade unionists, journalists and representatives of civil society organizations with various expertise in their respective fields of work, a statement released by NNPC said.

The statement also said that the most remarkable feature of the network is that it is working without a fixed office building and without being registered as an NGO, which makes it a truly voluntary organisation.
