The United Nations Department of Global Communications (UNDGC) has accredited Kenya-based Shalom Centre for Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation (SCCRR) to work with the department.
It was gathered that Shalom’s application for accreditation was strongly supported by the United Nations Centre for Information (UNIC) in Kenya, Uganda and the Seychelles.
Development Diaries understands that this accreditation offers SCCRR a chance to work over 1,00 associated NGOs in furthering the goals and objectives of creating a better and more peaceful world together.
These NGOs play an important role using their own platforms of communications with their members and beneficiaries to highlight commitments made by governments and world leaders.
‘Shalom benefits from the cooperation of the governments of Eastern Africa that comprise the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development’, UNIC Director Nasser Ega-Musa said in a letter of recommendation as published by Union of Catholic Asian News.
‘Shalom also partners with international and regional colleges and universities on peace-building courses, as well as religious associations and councils in Africa.
‘We, therefore, have no hesitation in recommending them for the United Nations Department of Public Information accreditation with the confidence that they will be a great asset and will add value to the work of the United Nations’.
