The African Peacemaking Database is a collection of knowledge intended to catalogue and nourish, for the very first time, traditional and daily practices of positive peace throughout the African continent. Existing peace and conflict databases focus on peace within the context of the government and its institutions, use data sources and definitions rooted in Western ways of knowing, and concentrate on measurement and analysis. Through research and partnerships over the past two years in Eastern and Southern Africa, we fill these gaps by partnering with the United Religions Initiative so that local, intercultural Pan-African leaders can lead Peace Mapping workshops in existing interfaith circles on a country-by-country basis. This essay discusses the implementation of an Indigenous Methodology rooted in local knowledge on a continental scale to harvest peace practices and traditions from women, youth, and elders so that community strengths of reconciliation, daily peacemaking, and rituals of music, dance, and storytelling are shared with the wider world.

非洲缔造和平数据库是一个知识集合，旨在首次对整个非洲大陆积极和平的传统和日常实践进行分类和滋养。现有的和平与冲突数据库侧重于政府及其机构背景下的和平，使用植根于西方认知方式的数据源和定义，并专注于测量和分析。通过过去两年在东部和南部非洲的研究和伙伴关系，我们与联合宗教倡议合作填补了这些空白，以便当地跨文化的泛非领导人能够在现有的跨宗教圈子中领导和平地图讲习班，逐个国家国家基础。
