Due to conflicts, African countries have lost billions of dollars—both in potential foreign direct investments and opportunity costs—which has kept populations in dire poverty, paving the ground for perpetual unrest, according to the Africa Center's Dean, Dr. Raymond Gilpin, who urged rising security sector leaders to set the conditions for economic development.
Peace and security are critical to spur economic growth in African countries, and security-sector leaders should take the lead to help provide a safe environment for business in their countries, said Dr. Gilpin, Dean of the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS). He spoke at the three-week Next Generation of African Security Sector leaders (Next Gen) Program outside of Washington, D.C., which included 60 participants from 40 African nations.
"When there is instability, foreign investment dries and cost of doing business in the country goes up," Dr. Gilpin said in his October 28, 2013, presentation. "For a country to really take full advantage of its natural resources, it needs a security environment that is conducive to both business and citizens' safety, something that can only be provided by a credible security sector."
