  • The African Commandants' Conference (ACoC) aims to improve African security by transforming military education and training to support multi-dimensional Peace Support Operations (PSOs) and enhancing coordination among African staff colleges to contribute to the African Standby Force (ASF).
  • The ACoC faces significant financial risks due to its reliance on a single donor, the United Kingdom government, for its secretariat management. The report recommends diversifying the donor base to avoid organizational collapse if the primary donor faces financial difficulties.
  • Effective multi-dimensional Peace Support Operations require integrated management and coordination between military, police, and civilian components. The Senior Mission Leadership Team (SMLT), consisting of the Head of Mission (HoM), Force Commander (FC), Police Commissioner (PC), Head of Civilian Component (HoCC), and Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), is central to this integration.
  • The report identifies several challenges in regional peace support, including the overlap of membership in multiple Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and the gap between the eight AU-recognized RECs and the five regions defined for the African Standby Force's Continental Early Warning System (CEWS).
  • Police components in peace operations, specifically Formed Police Units (FPUs), provide professional and mobile responses for public order and the protection of UN personnel and facilities. FPUs are often more accepted in IDP and refugee camps than heavily armed military forces.
  • The African Joint Combined Exercise (CJAX) has been implemented regionally, with notable examples in ECOWAS (Ghana) and SADC (South Africa). These exercises aim to practice operational planning and coordination for multi-faceted peace support operations.
  • The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), established in 2007, faces operational challenges including insufficient troop numbers, lack of equipment, and the threat of Al-Qaeda-linked groups like Al-Shabaab and Hizbul Islam.
  • The conference participants proposed the establishment of a pan-African staff college, a concept that has been discussed since the first ACoC in 2008 and was further developed by the Libyan Command and Staff College.
