Building Stability in Africa: Challenges for the New Millennium

This document is an introductory text for Monograph 46, which compiles papers from a November 1999 conference in Pretoria, South Africa, titled "Building stability in Africa: The challenge for the next millennium." The conference was part of a larger international project, "Challenges of peacekeeping and peace support: Into the 21st century," coordinated by the National Defence College in Stockholm to explore more effective ways of managing regional conflicts and peace support operations.

• The 'Challenges of peacekeeping and peace support: Into the 21st century' project is a multicultural and multinational effort coordinated by the National Defence College (NDC) in Stockholm. It aims to produce a concluding report for the United Nations Secretary-General and member state governments in 2001, recommending remedies for peacekeeping and peace support problems.
• The project's scope includes a wide range of theoretical and practical themes, including civil-military relations, the role of regional agencies, preventive diplomacy, post-conflict peacebuilding, mine prevention, international law, and the impact of information technology on peace support operations.
• The project has facilitated concrete international cooperation, including a faculty exchange between the L B Pearson Peacekeeping Training Centre and Jordanian institutions, and the Swedish government's decision to fund the Africa Early Warning Programme at the Institute for Security Studies in South Africa.
• Monograph 46 specifically documents the outcomes of a conference held in Pretoria, South Africa, from 22 to 24 November 1999, which focused on African conflicts, humanitarian assistance, and regional capacity-building for the 21st century.
