ACHIEVEMENTS AU now a credible and essential actor in Africa crisis management AU PSC extremely active as an assertive and authoritative decision making body AU active in challenging security environments e.g. Somalia, Sudan, Mali, Guinea Bissau, CAR, Eastern DRC African Peace Facility has been the key supporter of this process. EU acknowledged by AU as a key partner

CHALLENGES Financial Sustainability: peace and security extremely costly. African resources limited. Few internationalpartners involved (EU, UN, US) Division of labour UN-AU, AU regional organisations needs to be strengthened Full operationalisation of ASPA, including African Standby Force needs to be accelerated. EU challenge: coordination / coherence of multiple interventions by EU and Member States.
