The Private Security Sector in Africa: country Series

This monograph is the partial result of a two-year research project focused on the regulation of the private security sector in Africa, utilizing case studies to inform national, sub-regional, and regional policy making.

• The research project was initiated to address a lack of existing research on the private security industry in Africa and to help the continent participate in debates regarding the sector's manifestation. The goal is to support effective regulation by creating a consistent and logical regulatory framework for protocols and legislation at regional, sub-regional, and national levels.
• The report is based on three country case studies, specifically mentioning South Africa, where private security companies participate in various security-related operations.
