Abstract

Peace and conflict impact assessment (PCIA) has gained popularity within contexts that experience instability and armed conflict. This paper examines the Somali context, notably where attempts have been made by international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) and United Nations (UN) agencies to apply PCIA in facilitating sustainable development. Exploring the linkage between sustainable development and peace, this discussion examines the plight of minority ethnic groups in Somalia, the related power dynamics within the local socio-political environment, and how this effects wider trends of participation in development. The article argues that with improved application PCIA can be an effective tool for empowering the marginalised and creating opportunities for them to define their own paths towards peace and sustainable development.
