JCCP is an international NGO with offices in three countries, in addition to its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.
The offices in Kenya, Macedonia and Cambodia enable us to run a wide variety of field projects, ranging from DDR (Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration), to livelihood building, Peacebuilding programmes and reconciliation work in these communities.

The team of four permanent JCCP staff in the Tokyo office shape the direction and objectives of the projects, in close cooperation with the field staff who both research and realize these initiatives for peace.

The organisation has been active since 1996, when it originated as a think tank on preventative diplomacy issues, with Mr. Mitsuro Donowaki, former Ambassador to the UN Conference on Disarmament, as its chairman. However, it was only three years later, in 1999, that it began working internationally on Conflict Prevention issues, and it was eventually registered as an official NGO under the name JCCP in 2002.
