Business Unusual: A Rapidly Changing World Calls for Adapting Peacebuilding in Africa [[link removed]]
Monday, Sept. 12–Friday, Sept. 16 // 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (ET)
The global peace and security landscape is undergoing significant changes. Consecutive shocks such as COVID-19, economic decline, climate change, and rising food insecurity, along with a degradation in democracy and uptick in violent extremism in some countries have contributed to increasing fragility.
Meanwhile, on the African continent, the acceleration of economic integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area and progress toward digital transformation open new opportunities for advancing development goals. What does all of this mean for peacebuilding in Africa?
From September 12–16, 2022, the Wilson Center Africa Program will host the Southern Voices Network for Peacebuilding (SVNP) Annual Conference.
