Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB)
Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) is a universal human right. PROCMURA addresses FoRB from a faith perspective point of view, dealing specifically with religious people (Christians and Muslims).
This programme brings together various stakeholders including; religious leaders, women, youth, civil society, communities, media, and government agencies to enhance their capacity on FoRB so that they can identify FoRB violations, advocate for FoRB and work to promote FoRB.

I Stand for Peace
We, at PROCMURA, remain resolute in our resolve to upholding collective and individual actions geared towards building a peaceful and secure African continent where humanity comes first - not religion, race, ethnicity, political affiliations, or anything else. That is what our I Stand for Peace campaign represents.
We call upon stakeholders from all walks of life to join us in the mission to foster peace, peaceful coexistence and reconciliation across Africa.
Remember, peace is not a concept, it is a personal responsibility that starts with each one of us.
