The Program on Conflict and Development seeks to improve the effectiveness of development programs and policies for conflict-affected and fragile countries through multidisciplinary research and education.

The Program's work aims to reduce armed conflict, sustain families and communities during conflict, and assist states to rapidly recover from conflict.

This website is supported and maintained by the Conflict and Development Foundation - an independent 501(c)3 organization that is not part of the Texas A&M University System.

ConDev’s research focuses largely on mitigating conflict related to four program areas, which were hand-picked based on their potential to combat key drivers of international conflict:

• Food Security
• Natural Resources
• Youth Employment
• Local Institutions
