The Berghof Foundation is launching the publication “Breaking the vicious cycle: Entry points for anti-corruption in inclusive peace processes” co-authored together with U4 Anti Corruption Resource Center and Ulrike Hopp Nishanka. Peacebuilding and anti-corruption practitioners are invited to a discussion in the quest for ending the destructive cycle of corruption and conflict.
Corruption and violent conflict are interlinked in deep and complex ways. In this online panel discussion, we talk about why conflict transformation needs to contain an understanding of the political economy of violent conflict and corruption. How can peacebuilders identify ways to reduce corruption’s long-term impact on the inclusivity and sustainability of the peace process. What are ways to prioritise the aspects of corruption for state legitimacy, trust between communities, and trust in institutions? And how could peacebuilders support political efforts to curb corruption and promote accountability during transitions from war to peace?
