The Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) is a World Council of Churches (WCC) initiative which was established in 2002 in response to a call made by the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem, and Palestinian and Israeli NGOs. The mission of the EAPPI is to accompany Palestinians and Israelis in their nonviolent actions and concerted advocacy efforts to end the occupation.

The role of participants in the programme includes:

• Monitoring and reporting violations of human rights and international humanitarian law
• Supporting acts of nonviolent resistance alongside local Palestinian and Israeli activists
• Offering protection through nonviolent presence
• Engaging in public policy advocacy
• Standing in solidarity with the churches and all those struggling against the occupation.

Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW), part of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain, co-ordinates the EAPPI in Britain and Ireland, under the auspices of the World Council of Churches.
