Peace, security and development are inextricably linked. Peaceful, democratic and well-governed societies are believed to promote levels of growth, employment and prosperity. This article first defines the terms peace, security and development and then situates this within a current debate—that of the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. It looks at the African Union Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development (AU PCRD) framework and how it addresses issues of peace, security and development. It examines the African Solidarity Initiative (ASI) and the way this framework addresses these issues. Finally, it discusses the Common African Position (CAP) on the Sustainable Development Goals with particular reference to peace and security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
