The 2024 edition of the report provides an overview of the peace and security landscape in Africa, the continent’s progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, and the interlinkages between peace and security, development, humanitarian action, and human rights in accelerating progress. It also addresses the rule of law in Africa from the perspective of the people-centred approach outlined in the Secretary-General’s 2023 New Vision for the Rule of Law, recognizing its vital importance as a foundation for inclusive sustainable development, conflict prevention, and peace. The report highlights how challenges to the rule of law and access to justice hinder economic opportunities, erode social cohesion, and undermine political stability, fuelling conflict and creating opportunities for harmful non-state actors, particularly extremist groups, to fill the void. Examples of people-centred approaches to addressing rule of law challenges on the continent are also provided.
