Peace, security and resilience In 2021, we witnessed the intertwining of a deadly pandemic with the rise of political instability, new conflicts and the undeniable effects of the climate crisis in much of the world. Our peace, security and resilience team promotes the transition of fragile and conflict-affected countries towards peaceful, well-governed and prosperous societies, and encourages a strategic peace and security partnership between Africa and Europe.

Topics we look at include:

European, African and international conflict prevention, peacebuilding and security policies
Peace and security cooperation between Europe and Africa, and multilateralism
The EU’s approach to the humanitarian-development-peace nexus
The women, peace and security agenda
Links between conflict and climate change
