Beyond Liberal Peacebuilding: Decolonizing Stabilization Through African-Led Approaches - A Critical Assessment of Effectiveness, Legitimacy, and Sustainability in Fragile Contexts

Having studied philosophy, international relations, and human rights law across Ghana and Germany, my research interests focus on stabilization and peacebuilding in fragile contexts, particularly in the Sahel region. With over 8 years of experience working with UNDP, WHO, UNICEF, and the Red Cross Movement, I have developed expertise in conflict analysis, transitions-governance, and community resilience. I am particularly interested in the humanitarian-development-peace nexus and civil-military cooperation in crisis settings. My doctoral research at Leipzig University explores innovative approaches to stabilization programming in Africa's conflict-affected regions.
