The Civil Peace Service (CPS) is a programme for violence prevention, civil conflict transformation and peacebuilding. Together with local partner organisations, nine German peace and development organisations are working towards a world in which conflicts are resolved without violence. CPS peace workers provide long-term support to local people in their commitment for justice, human rights and peace. Currently, around 380 international peace workers are active in about 45 countries. The Civil Peace Service is funded by the German Government.
The CPS is implemented by The Action Committee Service for Peace (AGDF), AGIAMONDO, Bread for the World, EIRENE, Forum Civil Peace Service (forumZFD), The German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) GmbH, KURVE Wustrow – Education and Meeting Centre for Non-Violent Action, peace brigades international (pbi), World Peace Service (WFD) and funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
