Haitasadia kumtaja lakini wewe elewa tu kuwa hiyo blogu haina mafungamano na hayati Mwalimu Nyerere
Wanaukumbi tovuti ya Baba wa Taifa ndiyo hii hapa chini. Ikiwa Bwana Yericko Nyerere anaikana hilo haliwezi kuwa jambo la sisi kubishana.
Nimeiweka hapa ili muione tu.
Mimi sikuichukulia kuwa ni ya ''mitaani'' jinsi ilivyosheheni maelezo ya kuaminika na kuhusisha taasisi kubwa nchini.

[TD] Nyerere Centre for Peace Research (NCPR) was launched on 13th July, 2007 as an institution of the East African Community. The Centre was founded on the ideals of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere for Peace and Unity. The vision of the Nyerere Centre is to become a global centre of excellence for peace and conflict research while its mission is to build capacity in Conflict Prevention, Mitigation and Resolution (CPMR) through research and training. Its operational objectives include among others; promotion of peace and security as a means of enhancing regional integration and development; collaboration with like-minded local, regional and international organizations. The Centre endeavours to conduct research in themes related to Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Conflict Early Warning Systems, Traditional Dispute and Conflict Resolution methods, Resource-based conflicts, Terrorism, as well as Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW). The Centre aims to provide short training courses in conflict analysis; post conflict reconstruction; negotiation; mediation; conciliation; facilitation; Demobilization, Disarmament and Reintegration (DDR); disaster response and humanitarian assistance; data management; counselling and research methods. Its strategic importance to the Community derives from the fact that regional entities are credible, cost effective and more efficient than individual institutions. As such, NCPR seeks to complement the vision, mission and objectives of the EAC. NCPR strategic framework entails a sustained outreach, networking, training, research and an internationalization programme.Operational objectives for NCPR 1.
