Ogbonna Chukwu , Department of International Relations and Diplomacy, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, NigeriaAbstract
This paper explores strategies for fortifying peace and confidence in Africa, focusing on strengthening the continent's foundation for stability and prosperity. By addressing the root causes of conflict, promoting inclusive governance, and fostering economic development, African nations can build resilient systems that uphold peace and instill confidence among their citizens and the international community. Drawing on case studies, empirical research, and policy analysis, this study examines key initiatives and interventions aimed at bolstering peacebuilding efforts and enhancing confidence in Africa's future. The findings underscore the importance of collaborative approaches, regional cooperation, and sustainable development strategies in creating a lasting framework for peace and confidence across the continent.
