Conflict prevention, peace building and mediation
The EU strives to deliver stabilisation and peace, in close coordination with the Member States, combining conflict prevention, mediation and peacebuilding in an effective way. The EU ensures that EU engagements are conflict sensitive and based on a proper analysis.
With regard to Conflict Prevention, the EU aims at addressing structural risks of violent conflicts through all relevant policies, tools and instruments in a timely and sequenced manner. In addition to carrying out conflict analysis, the EU uses specific tools such as the EU conflict Early Warning System and the Horizon Scanning, to identify countries at risk of instability and/or of violent conflict.
