Strengthening IGAD-AU Peacebuilding Linkages

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published in September 2016 a policy brief titled "More Than a Chip Off the Old Block: Strengthening IGAD-AU Peacebuilding Linkages" by Amanda Lucey and Berouk Mesfin, both with ISS.

The policy brief argues that to become more effective, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) must consider its comparative advantage in relation to the African Union across the conflict spectrum, and to focus its engagements more effectively.
