Abstract
Philosophically, Gandhi’s ideas of non-violence, satyaagraha or peace and harmony, have been instrumental in creating a conducive environment for establishing peace and a culture of peace in many parts of globe. There is a thread running throughout Gandhi’s teaching and practice of non-violence, in particular culture of peace programmes and their successful adoption in many parts of Africa particularly due to Gandhi’s first experiments of non-violence in South Africa. The paper attempts to bring out analysis of Gandhi’s influence on UNESCO’s culture of peace and non-violence programmes and its experiments in various parts of Africa.
