What makes a peace deal work? This expert explains

What does it take to build a lasting peace? Here to answer the question is Itonde Kakoma, President and CEO of Interpeace, a global peacebuilding organization. Kakoma discusses the worrying rise in conflict worldwide, the role of the private sector in cementing peace, and why most peace deals fail: because they don’t focus enough on creating the right conditions for stability after the guns stop firing. The World Economic Forum is working with the European Commission to unlock new forms of public-private-philanthropic collaboration that will drive growth and shared prosperity in fragile and frontier markets.
