Whilst a very real potential source of conflict in Cambodia, the IIPC project recognises the unique potential that religious diversity can offer Cambodian communities to experience difference in a positive light.

Interfaith Peacebuilding is the basic act and practice of people of diverse religions and spiritualities who are willing to come together to both understand each other and seek to create social change within society. The project emphasises common humanity over theological difference.

The aim of the IIPC is to contribute towards a culture of peace and the development of human rights in Cambodia by promoting sustainable interfaith understanding and cooperation. Over the next 2 years, it will target community individuals from different faiths in 5 provinces.

Strategically, IIPC is working in close cooperation with key people/community leaders at community level. We have carefully identified and selected these key people directly from target areas through our research process. They key people/community leaders will come into contact with IIPC activities at different stages and with specific components, such as Interfaith dialogue, workshops, seminars, skills training, exposure and direct impact activities within their community.
