The African Peacebuilding and Developmental Dynamics (APDD) program —an initiative of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC)— supports African scholars and practitioners conducting innovative, Africa-centered research on peacebuilding, governance, and developmental dynamics in conflict-affected contexts in Africa.
Building on the legacy of the APN and Next Gen program, APDD continues to advance African-led knowledge production, foster collaborative networks, and bridge research, advocacy, and policy for sustainable peace and transformations across the continent.
