Spring 2022 Conflict Series - Assessing the Implications of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Peace and Security in Africa
Each Tuesday, the Conflict, Security, and Development Series will examine new research, discuss creative policy approaches, and highlight recent innovations in responding to the challenges of security and development in conflict and post-conflict situations.
Olajumoke (Jumo) Ayandele, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora (CSAAD) and Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for Global Affairs at New York University, will discuss her recently published co-authored report, "African Wars in the 21st Century: Post-COVID-19 Emerging Trends, Challenges and Opportunities." The forward-looking report assesses the security and policy implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stability and prosperity of Africa, identifying current and emerging trends, as well as opportunities for local, state, and regional stakeholders in building a stable Africa in a post-COVID world.
