Peace and security

Seventy years after the end of the Second World War, conflict and violence still keep countries and their people locked in cycles of insecurity and poverty, leaving any attempts at sustainable development hopelessly compromised. The best way of tackling them is to take a collective, comprehensive approach – from early warning and prevention to early recovery, stabilisation and peace-building.

Development policies and programmes should address conflict, build resilience and help affected countries return to a sustainable development path, so that their people can live in peaceful, stable societies.
