The Africa Resilience Forum (ARF) is a biennial event bringing together policymakers and practitioners from the humanitarian, development, peace and security communities, the public and private sectors, academia, and civil society. The objective is to exchange knowledge and innovative thinking on how to foster peace and stability in fragile and insecure contexts, and strengthen partnerships across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus through new innovative peace financing norms, guidance, approaches, and structures.
Building on work with numerous partners, the fifth edition of ARF will take ‘peace finance’ as its theme, exploring new ideas for how to scale peace-positive investment approaches that create safety, security, and sustainable peace for communities.
This is critical to fill the financing gap for African countries experiencing conflict and fragility, reduce risks for communities and investors and ensure they are not left behind. It will also provide an opportunity for the African Development Bank to share its latest thinking on the fragility and resilience agenda.
