Speaking on Saturday at a World Bank meeting in Washington DC, Mohammed said such areas should be prioritized when it comes to making financial decisions and allocations as a move to fight poverty.

“Targeting resources to areas that can dismantle the drivers of conflict will greatly help in preventing conflict and building resilience,” said Ms. Mohamed.

She urged developed nations to offer more resources to developing countries in a bid to eradicate poverty and prevent conflict.

“There are enough resources in the world economy to achieve the objectives of eradicating poverty and tackling fragility globally. Important decisions must now be made to employ these resources to achieve the goals of peace and development,” said Mohamed.

The CS pointed out that Kenya has taken vital measures to curb conflict through devolution implementation among other measures to deal with poverty.
