P&S Partnership

More than two thirds of the 24 activities agreed
in Lisbon have now been launched. Many have
already delivered the expected outcomes, others
are at an advanced stage of progress.
P&S Partnership :
The political dialogue





-regular consultations on crisis and conflict
operational and strategic discussions on country
situations are held whenever circumstances so require;
the second meeting between the AU Peace and
Security Council and the EU Political and Security
Committee took place on 12 October;
joint EU/AU/Sub-regional organisations' missions in
connection with Africa Peace Support Operations;
APSA policies (joint initiatives on Counter-terrorism,
Disarmament and non-proliferation, Conflict
Prevention and Post-Conflict Reconstruction….),
P&S Partnership :
multilevel/multifaceted strands of work
APSA = African Peace and Security
Architecture
Continental and regional levels =
 Coherence and connections in policies and
programmes =
-national - regional
-regional – continental

African Peace and Security
Architecture…
APSA is made of  Tools and  Policies
 I. Tools  are structures set up by the Peace
and Security Council Protocol (2002):
 -AU Peace and Security Council/Military Staff
Committee (decisional level)
 -Panel of the Wise (crisis prevention)
 -Continental Early Warning System (CEWS)
(monitoring/alert)
 -African Standby Force (ASF) (crisis management)
…African Peace and Security
Architecture


II. Policies  evolve with the acquisition by the AUC
of new mandates to operate in policy areas such as:
Post-conflict reconstruction and development (PCRD)
Arms control and disarmament (both Conventional such
as SALW and WMD)
Counter-terrorism,
Prevention and combating of trans-national organized
crime
Security Sector Reform
AU Border Programme
P&S Partnership :
Predictable and sustainable funding of AU Peace and Security
Operations.


The adoption of the 2nd Africa Peace Facility with € 300M, ( PSOs +
continental and regional capacity building).
Work in the context of the dedicated AU-UN Panel (Prodi Report)
+ The financing architecture of this Partnership
= more than € 1 billion from EC and EDF =
 The 2nd APF African Peace Facility has an allocation of €300M + € 300M in
reserve;
 €200M under the political focal sector of RSPs/RIPs
 The Instrument for Stability (–Long Term- € 225 M for 2009-2011 out of €
2,062 billions 2008-2013)
 ENPI
 NIPs
Instrument for Stability…Longer-term actions to counter
global and trans-regional threats
(EG Priority 1: trafficking, proliferation NBC agents, threats
to public health, etc)
2009-2011
Programme
€ 225 M
 3 Priorities:
 Priority 1 Non proliferation of WMD
• CBRN Centres of Excellence € 25-30 million

Rapid political tools





Among APSA tools and capacities the most
appealed to in response to crises are of a
political nature:
-Mediation and Political dialogue
-International Contact Groups
-Funding availability in support of Peace
Support Operations
-Troop contribution
APSA AU/RECs/RM
Its operability depends on interaction between the AU
and REC/RMs

2007 MoU on Cooperation in the Area of Peace
and Security AU and 8 RECs (UMA, CEN-SAD,
COMESA, EAC, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD,
SADC) + the coordinating mechanisms of the
regional standby brigades of Eastern Africa
(EASBRICOM) and Northern Africa (NARC).
APSA AU/RECs/RM…
MoU Objectives:
 Full operationalization and effective functioning of APSA, in
particular CEWS, the ASF and RECs/RMS structures similar to
the Panel of the Wise.
 Conflict prevention, management and resolution
 Humanitarian action and disaster management
 Post-conflict reconstruction and development
 Arms control and disarmament
 Counter-terrorism, prevention and combating of trans-national
organized crime
 Capacity building, training and knowledge sharing
 Resource mobilization
More specific activities
Delivery of the activities is making good progress
 Counter-terrorism, Disarmament,
 EU support to and joint activities on the AU capacity to plan,
conduct, manage and deploy Peace Support Operations.
 Strengthening African capacities at the continental and regional
level through training and reinforcement of human resources;
planning, conduct and management, including financial
management of PSOs
 The Amani Africa/EuroRecamp cycle continued with the
Pledging Conference, the Initiating Planning Conference and the
Senior Decision Makers Seminar, the main planning conference
(MPC) and the MAPEX. The next step will be the political
strategic seminar in November 2009, which will be followed by a
Command Post Exercise (CPX) in 2010.

Training and validation of the Africa Stand-by Force (Police, Civilian,
Military) as a key feature of the APSA has reached a critical phase: the ASF
should be operational by June 2010; the civilian component is lagging behind
the military and police ones;
The preparation of support package to the African Training Centres is
making good progress thanks to the results of a joint study, which will help
identifying priorities and plans.
operationalisation of Continental Early Warning System through closer
co-operation with corresponding EU and EU MS structures;
initiatives in the field of Mediation activities and related capacity are being
co-ordinated with EU MS lead countries; SSR policies, AU Border
Programme are being added as new areas of interest
The AU-RECs/RMS interaction is being supported, notably through the
RECs/RMs Liaison offices to the AU that will be further expanded.
