- Present the key findings and policy recommendations of the 2025 flagship reports to a global audience of policymakers, development partners, academics, and civil society.
- Foster dialogue on strengthening country systems, enhancing domestic resource mobilisation, and reforming the international financial architecture.
- Highlight the interlinkages between peace, governance and financing.
- Explore practical pathways for the promotion of durable peace through inclusive development and the reshaping Africa's financing for development.
- Disseminate the reports widely to inform policy and practice at national, regional, and global levels.
