We focus on violence in armed conflict in general but also, specifically on sexual violence in armed conflict. In this paper, we provide data on, and examine conflict trends in Africa, particularly since 1989, and place them in a global context. This paper focuses on Africa and aims to help policymakers, decisionmakers, practitioners, and regional and country experts further understand the context in which they work. This series comprises four papers, one on the Middle East, on Africa, one on Asia, and one that provides a global overview. This paper is part of a series, PRIO Papers on Conflict Trends.
An important first stage in achieving this goal is to understand conflict dynamics over time and across continents as well as the types of violence various actors use. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 calls on the world’s countries to achieve peaceful and inclusive societies and to significantly reduce all forms of violence everywhere.
