The Inter-Faith Action for Peace in Africa (IFAPA), is a pan-African process initiated by African religious leaders with the aim of bringing religious communities across the continent of Africa to cooperate and work together to promote peace in the Continent. It involves the seven distinguishable faith traditions in Africa: The African Traditional Religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and the Baha'i faith. The leaders of these faiths form the IFAPA board called the Commission which meets once after every two years.
IFAPA focuses on practical inter-faith action for peace by moving religious and grassroots communities beyond dialogue to locally identified and agreed tangible programmes and projects. This initiative uses resources mobilized around religious communalities, governments/parliaments, the private sector and donors.
The IFAPA process works though already existing religious structures mobilized by established IFAPA Chapters in over 30 countries spread in all the five (5) regions of Africa. Through the same structures, IFAPA has also established a secretariat, Women's Desk and the Youth Desk.
