English term or phrase: Peace comm dev nexus
I am almost sure this stands for "Peace communication development nexus".
It is one of the disciplines studied on a South African university registration document.

I don't really know what it means.

Development nexus on its own has appeared as a question on proz. But interdépendance entre la communication pour la paix does not make sense to me.

Your input would be much appreciated.

Médiation et Développement
Explanation:
I interpreted this phrase as: nexus (between) peace communication / and development. I translated 'peace communication' by 'médiation' and did away with 'nexus' because I thought translating it wouldn't add that much information and the source phrase already being an abbreviation... I favored brevity. If you absolutely want to translate 'nexus', then It might be best to do away with 'communication' this time, so I'd suggest something like: 'Interdépendance Paix/Développement'.

Of course I might be misinterpreting, this might mean nexus (between) peace / communication / and development, but the data I've found seems to indicate that in the context of Africa, peace and communication are not two separate concepts in this instance.
