(FES)-- Executive summary
The process of establishing peace and security in Africa currently involves a number of intergovernmental initiatives including the African Union’s peace and security council (PSC), with its planned African Stand-by Force (ASF), and the peace and security component of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). The PSC provides a comprehensive framework for preventing, managing and resolving conflicts (including peace operations) at a continental level. At a sub-regional1 level, sub-regional organisations (also known as Regional Economic Communities-RECs), have taken the de facto lead in promoting peace and security.
