SUMMARY:How Will COVID-19 Impact Peace and Security in Africa?
DESCRIPTION:Click here to download the full Concept Note | Agenda  | Webinar Guidelines \nVenue: Online via Google Meet\, Register here \nIPSS and Amani Africa are pleased to organize a virtual policy dialogue that aims to discuss the gravity of the peace and security consequences of COVID-19 and the various ways it will impact existing conflicts\, post-conflict processes and political transitions. \nCOVID-19 has upended the social\, economic and institutional systems across the world in unexpected ways. An increasing concern in Africa is how far COVID-19 will go in worsening already difficult conflict situations\, unravelling peace and transitional processes\, and pushing fragile systems. \nThe panel will seek to address the following questions: \n\nHow will COVID-19 affect security and insecurity at national and regional levels?\nWhich conflict situations should be closely monitored and why?\nWhat is the impact of COVID-19 on the African Peace and Security Architecture?\nHow will COVID-19 affect the AU reform process?\nHow should we prepare and respond to the peace and security challenges arising from COVID-19?\nWhat sources of resilience can societies use to cope with the insecurity caused by COVID-19? How should AU\, RECs/RMs and other peace and security actors including the UN tap into and support such sources of resilience?\n\nWelcome and introduction: Dr. Yonas Adaye Adeto\, Director\, Institute for Peace and Security Studies \nModerator: Dr. Solomon A. Dersso\, Founding Director\, Amani Africa \nPanellists: \n\nMrs. Hanna Serwaa Tetteh\, Special Representative of the Secretary-General to the African Union and Head of the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU)\nDr. Comfort Ero\, Director\, Africa Program\, International Crisis Group\n\nDiscussant:\nMrs. Michelle Ndiaye\, Outgoing Director\, Africa Peace and Security Programme / Head of Secretariat\, Tana Forum\, IPSS\n
