The scale and complexity of the current threats, challenges and risks to peace, security and development in Africa is beyond the ability of any one country, organization or actor to overcome. Anchored in African ownership, the continent’s partnerships with the world are imperative to unlock its enormous potential and to seize opportunities to advancing sustainable development and peace. At a time when multilateralism is under severe pressure, there is a need to forge new and innovative ways of collaboration. This session will provide an opportunity for actors on the national, regional and international levels to discuss partnerships’ modalities that advance coherence and integration across the humanitarian- development- peace nexus, while enhancing African ownership and advancing African Solutions to African Problems.
