It also assesses the effectiveness of agreements in preventing conflicts and fostering peace across the continent. The study identifies challenges and opportunities within the approach to conflict resolution offering policy suggestions to enhance multilateral mechanisms and maximize the impact of international agreements. Through addressing these issues this research aims to contribute towards developing durable and efficient strategies for attaining peace and security, in Africa.
