Center for Advancement of Peace Initiatives

CAPI is an Israeli-registered non-profit organization working to promote peace and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians mostly in the city of Jerusalem. The Center for the Advancement of Peace Initiatives (CAPI) is an Israeli non-profit organization that seeks to enhance peace, justice and mutual respect between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples with a focus in the city of Jerusalem. We envision a reality without any type of discrimination or oppression from one group to another; where all individuals enjoy their rights and can fully implement their national, religious, cultural and political identity. We base our work on our vast knowledge and experience about the functioning of Israeli authorities and on the understanding of the consequences of the Israeli policies; on our capacity to implement empowering processes; on the experience gathered through the cooperation with several members of Palestinian (mostly from East Jerusalem) civil society; on our understanding of the needs of the Palestinian neighborhoods and on the contacts with relevant actors at the regional and international levels.
