Preventing conflict, preserving peace and eradicating poverty is a key priority in the EU’s foreign engagement. The objective of this project is to strengthen the implementation of the EU’s key policies in this area for ACP and OCT regions, namely the EU Global Strategy for foreign and security policy (EUGS), the New EU Consensus on Development, the 2017 Resilience Communication, the Security-Development Nexus, and the Integrated Approach.
The project was commissioned to assist DEVCO-B2 to respond to growing demands to mainstream peace and strengthen internal capacity for the EU to meet its goal to preserve peace and prevent conflict as part of its foreign policy. The purpose of the project was to produce studies to consolidate and integrate existing contributions into a global product by topics and by country; to demonstrate both implementation and progress of the New European Consensus for development and the Integrated Approach; and to contribute to the mainstreaming of peacebuilding and inclusivity, ensuring in-depth analysis together with in-house tools on resilience, peacebuilding and conflict prevention, also through the production of field cases studies and will ensure knowledge transfer, both in- house and for the targeted countries.
