CPA (Comprehensive Peace Agreement)

A Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) is a formal set of negotiated terms designed to end conflict and establish lasting peace between conflicting parties. It addresses key issues such as ceasefire arrangements, power-sharing, security, disarmament, and often political and social reforms. By outlining clear commitments and responsibilities, a CPA aims to create stability, promote reconciliation, and lay the groundwork for sustainable development. It is typically reached through intense negotiations, involving multiple stakeholders, to ensure all parties' concerns are acknowledged and a mutually acceptable path forward is established.
