Despite widespread agreement on the interdependence of peace and development, the concept of peace-centered development, which places peace at the core of development policy and practice, remains underexplored and is rarely integrated with conflict transformation in practice. Using a multi-method qualitative approach that integrates critical literature review, in-depth country case studies and comparative analysis, we reveal why implementation of conflict transformation alone often falls short in fragile situations and how embedding it within broader development strategies can unlock simultaneous gains in peace and development. We uncover the value and practice of peace-centered development and propose a new framework for connecting conflict transformation with peace-centered development, providing insights to policymakers and practitioners working at the intersection of violence, poverty, and sustainable development.
