To achieve durable peace, Africa needs states that earn their citizens' trust and better control their economic and financial flows through strong and accountable institutions. Inspired by the UN Secretary-General’s 2025 report on promoting durable peace through sustainable development in Africa, this webinar explores how inadequate service delivery and weak institutions fuel conflict.

Speakers will discuss links between the absence of effective state authority and the erosion of the social contract; how more equitable natural resource governance can foster development; pathways for domestic resource mobilisation; and how the state can expand its administrative reach and authority by delivering justice and essential services.

This event is co-hosted by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) and the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (UNOSAA).

Participate, engage with experts, and contribute to this vital discussion on promoting durable peace for Africa’s development.

When: Tuesday, 14 April 2026 - 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.  New York Time
