It is dedicated to fostering reconciliation, mutual understanding, and sustainable peace between Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. Established by individuals from both communities who advocate for a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem, CPDC emphasizes the urgency of achieving a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation to ensure the island's future stability.

'''Mission and Activities'''

CPDC operates as a platform for intercommunal engagement, focusing on inclusivity, grassroots participation, and civic dialogue. The organization implements various initiatives, including educational programs, workshops, and collaborative projects aimed at building trust and cooperation. Notable activities include the "Embrace" project, which addresses human rights violations related to the Cyprus problem, and the "Civic Initiative for an Updated Cyprus Peace Process Design (C-Up)," supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Communities Organisation (ICO). 

CPDC also engages in advocacy efforts, such as joint declarations and letters to international bodies like the United Nations and the European Union, urging action on the Cyprus issue. The organization collaborates with various stakeholders, including civil society organizations, peacebuilding networks, and academic institutions, to promote a culture of peace and dialogue on the island.
