Building Peaceful States and Societies. A DFID Practice Paper
This 60-page paper outlines a new, integrated approach to achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and elimination of global poverty - one that puts state-building and peace-building at the centre of the United Kingdom (UK) Department for International Development (DFID)'s work in fragile and conflict-affected countries. The approach aims to increase the impact of international assistance, while recognising that state-building and peace-building are primarily internal processes.
