Centre for Peace and Conflict Management in Africa Granted Prestigious UN ECOSOC Consultative Status
ABUJA, NIGERIA — The Centre for Peace and Conflict Management in Africa (CPCMA) is proud to announce that it has officially been granted special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
This prestigious recognition follows a rigorous review process by the United Nations Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations. It serves as a major milestone in the Centre’s ongoing mission to foster sustainable peace, resolve deep-rooted conflicts, and champion human rights across the African continent.
With this new diplomatic standing, CPCMA gains direct entry into the United Nations framework. The consultative status allows the Centre to:
- Actively participate in official ECOSOC deliberations, high-level forums, and specialized UN commissions.
- Submit written statements and deliver oral presentations to influence global policy on African peace and security.
- Collaborate closely with UN member states, global agencies, and international civil society partners to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly peace, justice, and strong institutions (Goal 16).
“We are deeply honored by this recognition from the United Nations,” said the Executive Director of CPCMA. “Attaining ECOSOC consultative status is a powerful validation of our years of grassroots and institutional peace building efforts. This global platform will amplify the voices of the communities we serve and allow us to bring African-led solutions to the forefront of global policy discussions.”
As the African continent navigates complex security challenges, CPCMA’s elevation to the UN stage ensures that localized conflict resolution strategies, early warning systems, and peace-advocacy frameworks will be integrated directly into international development agendas.
The Centre extends its profound appreciation to its dedicated staff, board members, local partners, and international stakeholders whose unwavering support made this achievement possible. CPCMA remains steadfastly committed to leveraging this new platform to build a more secure, stable, and prosperous Africa.
