SUMMARY:Workshop 3: « Community responses to stability challenges »
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe Ebola and COVID 19 crises have highlighted the weakness of institutional health arrangements in Africa and affected the internal stability of several states. Many other political, economic and social factors continue to make the continent fragile and lead several states to neglect and marginalize peripheral regions, particularly border areas. In most countries, an increasingly young population is demanding greater social integration, jobs and opportunities. Finally, in several places, the mode of political governance and exploitation of public natural resources has led to the gradual establishment of rent-seeking situations, thus accentuating the breakdown of trust between the governors and the governed. In addition, violent extremism persists and is on the rise, as well as a resurgence of unconstitutional political changes and\nintra-African migration, which is often perceived as a source of conflict and fuels frequent struggles for land, resources and jobs. Sustainable and inclusive development is the most effective way to address the root causes of instability. Indeed, to prevent conflict and build resilient communities and societies, it is essential to address poverty and inequality, strengthen public institutions and civil society, and promote human rights, goals that figure prominently in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. In this indispensable effort to achieve or strengthen the conditions for sustainable stability on the continent, communities have a crucial role to play, particularly in the development of mutual trust between the various components of the population and, above all, in the prevention and resolution of ongoing or latent conflicts.\nIt is therefore important to place communities at the heart of the search for solutions, and to promote and rehabilitate the virtues of inter-community dialogue as an irreplaceable tool in conflict management in Africa.\n\nObjectives\nIdentify the major challenges to stability on the continent and propose realistic community-based responses to these challenges, in addition to the efforts of States.\n\n\nIssues to be addressed\n\nWhat are the roles of communities in strengthening national unity and promoting living together in Africa?\nWhat community responses to recurrent social conflicts, particularly between sedentary and nomadic populations, indigenous and non-indigenous populations?\nWhat community and inter-community approaches to improve the prevention and fight against insecurity, particularly in border areas?\n\n
