The Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel is an initiative of the World Council of Churches.

Since the program was launched in 2002, accompaniers have participated from more than 30 churches and 14 countries. Accompaniers serve in 3-month terms in international teams placed in Jerusalem and West Bank villages.

The EAPPI-US is the US program of the EAPPI and is supported by US national churches in partnership with Church World Service.

US accompaniers commit to sharing their experiences through public speaking, writing and advocacy after they return.
