Our team encompasses a rich diversity of expertise with different backgrounds such as the media, health, agriculture and teaching professionals. Governing Structure:PEACE is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of distinguished persons with various technical experiences. The Board is responsible for setting policies and monitoring and evaluating the actions of management.
