The Peace and Development Nexus in Africa: Governance, Financing and Country Systems - A Planning Guide

This publication by the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA) presents an integrated framework for applying the peace and development nexus in Africa, linking peace, sustainable development, financing, and institutional capacity. It provides practical tools, including logical and measurement frameworks, and data curation methods, to support evidence-based, context-sensitive planning. Designed for policymakers, planners, and development actors, the approach complements OSAA’s online course, The Peace and Development Nexus in Africa, and promotes coherent, long-term solutions that move beyond fragmented, siloed interventions.
