This New Agenda, which outlines the Secretary General’s vision to attain international peace, has twelve proposals for action embedded within five priority areas of focus including; Prevention at the global level: addressing strategic risks and geopolitical divisions; Preventing conflict and violence and sustaining peace; Strengthening peace operations and addressing peace enforcement; Novel approaches to peace and potential domains of conflict; and Strengthening international governance (UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs). Given the numerous multidimensional challenges Africa faces, the New Agenda for Peace seems to be a praiseworthy commitment that Africans can explore to build sustainable peace and stability.   It is on this note that the Peace and Security Division of the Nkafu Policy Institute is organising a webinar to have thought-provoking conversations and expert views on the potential prospects for peace and stabilization in Africa and the role of the New Agenda for Peace in accomplishing this goal.\n\n\nObjective of the webinar\n\n\nThe main objective of this webinar is to explore the opportunities for peace and stabilization in Africa, with a specific focus on the New Agenda for Peace.  That is, to provide a platform for sharing knowledge on the New Agenda for Peace and engage stakeholders to invest in it to foster peace and stability in Africa.\n\n\nTarget Audience \n\n\nThe event targets experts, policymakers, and practitioners from the fields of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and international development.\n\n\nEvent Format \n\n\nThe event will take place online, via zoom with panel discussions by peace and security experts and will be streamed live on Foretia Foundation’s social media platforms.\n\n\nExpected output\n\n\nBy highlighting the potential of the New Agenda for Peace, it is expected that the webinar will act as an avenue that will contribute to the ongoing dialogue on addressing the multidimensional challenges faced by the continent and fostering sustainable peace.\n\n\nExpected Outcome\n \n\nTo propose meaningful recommendations that can lead to the development of policy frameworks at national and multilateral levels for investing in the focus areas of the New Agenda for Peace, in a bid to achieve sustainable peace and development in Africa.\n\n\nEvent Date and Time\n \n\nThe event will take place on Wednesday 8th November, 2023 from 3:00-4:00pm Cameroon Time.\n\n\nOrganisers\n\n\nThis event is organised by the Peace and Security Division of the Nkafu Policy Institute– a think tank at the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation.\n\n\nContact details\n\n\nEmail: info@foretiafoundation.org / Tel: (+237) 22 31 15 84 / 654 86 72 54\nRegister now\n
