Abstract

The Index for Risk Management1 (INFORM) reveals that countries with special needs - least developed countries in particular - are susceptible to conflict due to: a. High levels of socio-economic vulnerabilities such as multidimensional poverty, inequality, vulnerable people and aid dependence; and b. Weak coping capacities as captured through their institutional and infrastructure deficits. The multidimensionality of conflict and its interdependence with sustainable development suggest that sustaining peace essentially requires the pursuit of mutually reinforcing holistic development and peaceful outcomes. Creating and sustaining a peaceful environment that addresses these structural ‘risk factors’ of conflict is thus a long-term pursuit that can only be sustained by ensuring a stable source of financing.
