Looking at root causes of instability and violent conflict, we often find dynamics of inequality and exclusion. This debate covers different ways to promote political and economic inclusion, social cohesion, and resilient communities in fragile and conflict-affected settings. Key issues: How do we as states and CSOs give voice to citizens who are not heard, particularly women and youth? How can we ensure that powerholders hear these voices? How can we promote inclusive decision making and transparent, accountable and inclusive governance?
