Our theme for 2020 of Silencing The Guns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa’s Development is in keeping with Africa’s Agenda 2063 and our Aspiration for a Peaceful and Secure Africa. Anchored on the African Union’s African Peace and Security Architecture, 2020 will be the year where all tools to promote peace will be pulled out of the box; from preventive diplomacy and dialogue- centred approaches to conflict prevention and resolution, as well as support to member states and citizens through the work of the various AU peacekeeping forces to manage crises and work towards reconstruction of societies so as to create the firm foundation for enduring economic growth and development. In our efforts to promote peace and stability in line with the theme of the year, the role of women must not be negated, but in fact a more inclusive approach to peace keeping must LESLIE RICHER be embraced. In this edition we highlight the need to close the gender gap in matters of peace and security and profile DIRECTOR the role of women in the peace keeping efforts of the African Directorate of Information & Communication Union and celebrate their achievements. Finally, peace and stability are necessary for achieving the desired objectives of one of Africa’s most ambitious economic integration initiatives, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The AfCFTA entered into force in May 2019 and in July 2019 the Operational Instruments were launched. Africa is all set to transform the landscape when trading under the AfCFTA commences in July 2020. In this edition of the AU Echo we cover the operational instruments as well as the requirements and expectations for the start of trading. To achieve our ambitions for sustainable growth and development let us make 2020 the year when we lay the strong foundations for lasting peace The AU ECHO is produced by the Directorate of Information and Communication of the African Union.

Dominique De Rambures, Alfonso Iozzo, Annamaria Viterbo After the Second World War, the establishment of the United Nations was completed, in the financial area, with those of the IMF for financing the balances of payments, and the World Bank for financing infrastructure and investment projects. The European Union has created the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) for financing the member States who are dealing with payment problems, which can be compared to the IMF, and the EIB for financing the investment project which can be compared to the World Bank. China numerous entities for financing investments, such as the China Development Bank, Export-Import Bank, and many funds and development banks dedicated to a specific purpose such as the ABII (Asia Bank for Infrastructures and Investments) to support the OBOR policy (One Belt One Road, i.e. the New Silk Roads). Beyond their aim of financing investments, China uses these financial organizations and others such as the sovereign fund, China Investment Corp., and the state banks, for buying government bonds to countries such as Greece and Portugal during the 2008 crisis, that are dealing with payment problems. The African Development Bank grants loans to finance infrastructure and investment projects, but Africa has no financial institution such as the IMF or the ESM. Why should Africa build up a financial institution of this kind while the Africain countries have so far called upon the IMF for their financial needs? - the IMF does initiate a financial package but does not provide the whole amount of funds needed.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • Why Is the African Economic Community Important? Mr
    House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations Hearing on “Will there be an African Economic Community?” January 9, 2014 Amadou Sy, Senior Fellow, Africa Growth Initiative, the Brookings Institution Chairman Smith, Ranking Member Bass, and Members of the Subcommittee, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for convening this important hearing to discuss Africa’s progress towards establishing an economic community. I appreciate the invitation to share my views on behalf of the Africa Growth Initiative at the Brookings Institution. The Africa Growth Initiative at the Brookings Institution delivers high-quality research on issues of economic growth and development from an African perspective to better inform policy research. I have recently joined AGI from the International Monetary Fund’s where I led or participated in a number of missions to Africa over the past 15 years. Why is the African Economic Community Important? Mr. Chairman, before we start answering the main question, “Will there be an Africa Economic Community?” it is important to look at the reasons why a regionally integrated Africa is beneficial to African nations as well as the United States. In spite of its remarkable economic performance over the past decade, Africa needs to grow faster in order to transform its economy and create the resources needed to reduce poverty. Over the past 10 years, sub-Saharan Africa’s real GDP grew by 5.6 percent per year, a much faster rate than the world economy, which grew by 3.2 percent. At this rate of 5.6 percent, the region should double the size of its economy in about 13 years.

  • Bridging the Mediterranean: for an Enlarged, Comprehensive and Equitable Integration Between the Eu and Its Southern Neighbours
    Policy Brief N. 109 BRIDGING THE MEDITERRANEAN: FOR AN ENLARGED, COMPREHENSIVE AND EQUITABLE INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE EU AND ITS SOUTHERN NEIGHBOURS Mondher Khanfir Head of the think tank “For a shared prosperity in Africa” Introduction The European Union (EU) cooperation treaties with the Southern Mediterranean Countries (SMCs) have grown in successive layers to become, over time, a comprehensive and multi-layered corpus comprising integration pacts in security, economy, environment and culture. Since 2003, a geopolitical concern gave birth to the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP),1 which associates a broad spectrum of partner countries with the EU. Those countries are supposed to be selected on the basis of political stability and economic resilience criteria in order to accelerate their development by strengthening their ties with the EU. Therefore, the Euro- Mediterranean area encompasses a wide diversity of countries with different levels of development. 25 years after the Barcelona Declaration for a regional integration around the Mediterranean, the prosperity differential is still marked between the southern and northern shores, with a wide dispersion of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, from 1 The ENP comprises Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine. Its aim is to strengthen prosperity, stability and security for all. 2 Bridging the Mediterranean: For an Enlarged, Comprehensive and Equitable Integration between the EU and its Southern Neighbours less than €3,000 to more than €100,000 as shown in figure 1. This partly explains the mistrust of the SMCs regarding the ENP, illustrated by the reluctance of some of them to endorse the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement.2 Figure 1.

    Studies in Space Policy Annette Froehlich · André Siebrits Space Supporting Africa Volume 1: A Primary Needs Approach and Africa’s Emerging Space Middle Powers Studies in Space Policy Volume 20 Series Editor European Space Policy Institute, Vienna, Austria Editorial Advisory Board Genevieve Fioraso Gerd Gruppe Pavel Kabat Sergio Marchisio Dominique Tilmans Ene Ergma Ingolf Schädler Gilles Maquet Jaime Silva Edited by: European Space Policy Institute, Vienna, Austria Director: Jean-Jacques Tortora The use of outer space is of growing strategic and technological relevance. The development of robotic exploration to distant planets and bodies across the solar system, as well as pioneering human space exploration in earth orbit and of the moon, paved the way for ambitious long-term space exploration. Today, space exploration goes far beyond a merely technological endeavour, as its further development will have a tremendous social, cultural and economic impact. Space activities are entering an era in which contributions of the humanities—history, philosophy, anthropology—, the arts, and the social sciences—political science, economics, law—will become crucial for the future of space exploration. Space policy thus will gain in visibility and relevance. The series Studies in Space Policy shall become the European reference compilation edited by the leading institute in the field, the European Space Policy Institute. It will contain both monographs and collections dealing with their subjects in a transdisciplinary way. More information about this
