Planning for peace: lessons from Mozambique's peacebuilding process

This research paper by the Institute for Security Studies examines the drivers and threats to peace in Mozambique in the two decades following its civil war and first multiparty elections. The authors analyze national stability plans focusing on demobilisation, disarmament and reintegration (DDR), socio-economic development, decentralisation, justice, and natural resource investment to derive seven key findings for peacebuilding.

• Despite the end of the civil war and the introduction of multiparty elections over twenty years ago, Mozambique continues to struggle with ongoing developmental, economical, political, and social challenges.
• The paper identifies seven key findings for peacebuilding based on an analysis of processes related to justice, decentralisation, natural resource investment, socio-economic development, and demobilisation, disarmament and reintegration (DDR).
