The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) has appointed the Editorial Board that will oversee the research and subsequent publication of research papers by the Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations (ICMR) graduates and experts from across Africa and beyond. The Editorial Board brings on board a wealth of renowned and experienced Scholars and experts in Christian-Muslim relations who will assist in developing thematic areas that the graduates and experts will concentrate their research on for publication and editing the materials produced to ensure that they are within the principles and ethos of what PROCMURA is and stands for. Members of the board are drawn from Africa and Europe taking into consideration gender balance. The formation of the ICMR platform is aimed at ensuring that as many people as they are who have studied ICMR in Africa assist the churches in the continent in their efforts to constructively relate with Muslims.

The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) has entered a new partnership with Stefanus Alliance International, a Norwegian Christian Missions and Human Rights organization, to establish a regional network for FoRB trainers in Africa to enable the trainers share experiences and best practices across the continent on freedom of religion.
The freedom of religion is in line with PROCMURA’s overall goal of seeing an African continent where Christians and Muslims uphold the principles of religious freedom and all that it entails; constructively relate to promoting peace in the society and peaceful coexistence between Christian and Muslim communities; jointly respond to environmental challenges.
PROCMURA strongly believes that the reality of religious plurality in Africa, where Christians and Muslims forms the majority, means that people from the different religions in the continent must live together in peace and share the religious spaces without any discrimination whatsoever.
PROCMURA has, for over three years, been implementing this project across its constituencies in Africa and been able to conduct a series of country and regional Training of Trainers (TOT) workshops on the Freedom of Religion and Belief in Africa with the objective of building and enhancing the capacity of religious leaders, women, youth, the media and government agencies, among other stakeholders, on promoting religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims who are the dominant religions Africa.
Over the years, the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) has been empowering the churches in Africa through capacity building and personnel development programmes of the clergy and pastors from different churches across its constituencies in the continent by diligently training the theologians on Islam and Christian-Muslim-Relations (ICMR).
