ISSUE AREAS

The Center for Sustained Domestic Security and Development (CESDOSED) focuses on five critical issue areas that are fundamental to Africa's stability and development:

Security

Africa's security situation remains complex and dynamic, shaped by a range of domestic and regional factors. We examine internal conflicts, transnational threats, and the role of regional organizations in addressing security challenges.

Development

Africa's development stands at a pivotal moment with immense potential and significant challenges. We explore technological innovation, infrastructure development, and the continent's path toward sustainable economic growth.

Governance and Politics

Democratic institutions and good governance are essential for Africa's stability. We examine electoral processes, institutional development, and the relationship between citizens and political leadership.

Health Issues

Improving health outcomes and quality of life in Africa requires sustainable health infrastructure and targeted interventions. We address both communicable and non-communicable diseases affecting the continent.

Environment and Natural Resources

Sustainable natural resource management is crucial for Africa's future. We examine the balance between resource utilization and environmental protection, focusing on community-based approaches and climate resilience.

CESDOSED seeks to address critical domestic institutional challenges that have dogged states in the developing world. Emphasis is also placed on human security, and how African governments are embracing and incorporating human security in their security, economic, and developmental strategies and policies.
