The Faculty of Peace and Diplomacy seeks to empower a new generation of peace builders and diplomats by offering transformative academic experience that nurtures peace and harmonious relations, and contributes to the development and socio-economic transformation of the region and beyond.

It will produce graduates who are equipped with knowledge and skills in peace building and effective diplomacy, who will serve as catalysts of change at the local, regional, and global levels.

The faculty adopts a holistic approach to education, integrating both theoretical and practical learning to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving world. Its guiding philosophy recognizes that both peace and diplomacy are the foundations and guarantors of stability, peaceful relations and sustainable development.

The apprenticeship model of training Diplomats and Foreign Service officers will be reinforced with intellectual knowledge and ethical values as an effective way of preparing graduates for government and diplomatic service.

Peace studies will be taught as an interdisciplinary field of inquiry and practice that aims to contribute to sustainable peace, stability and development at all levels of society. The interdisciplinary connection between peace, diplomacy, security, and human rights will be maintained across different programs.

Through its innovative programs, the Faculty of Peace and Diplomacy at KAPATU aspires to be a center of excellence and a hub of vibrant and diverse community of scholars and practitioners, shaping the next generation of leaders dedicated to fostering sustainable peace and development in Karamoja and beyond.
