The borderland regions of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) face a complex array of security, economic, political and demographic challenges that exacerbate instability and fuel violence across borders. International efforts to promote peace, enable inclusive governance, and advance regional prosperity must account for these intertwined dynamics.

Please join the Cross-Border Conflict Evidence, Policy and Trends (XCEPT) research programme for an in-person conference to examine power and political dynamics and socio-economic stresses in MENA’s borderlands and the implications for regional peace and stability. The conference will bring together local, regional, and international experts, policymakers and practitioners in a series of moderated panel and roundtable discussions to assess emerging trends and consider how policy and programme responses should adapt to better support conflict stabilisation, resolution, and prevention.
