To become a leading independent think tank strategically positioned to providing a wide range of home-grown and citizen-centered knowledge products and policy options for a more inclusive security provision in Africa
The Foundation’s aim is to promote authentic, innovative and effective response options for managing Africa’s peace and security challenges.
We believe that the main purpose of this Foundation is to provide an opportunity for actors in the field to build a common agenda through which contemporary and responsive peace and security protocols can be developed to shape the future of security policy on the continent. Our focus is to promote citizen-centered security and improved knowledge of Africa’s peace and security institutions through increased civil engagement and leadership-driven initiatives. All involved stakeholders will gain insight into prevailing issues and potential solutions based on international and regional peace and security instruments.
Our goal of sustaining peace and security on the African continent relies on the provision of knowledge generation and policy driven insight on the peace, security and development nexus, the shared values of the African Union and the peace and security agenda. The Foundation will also provide a platform for policy debate and dialogue to define best practices and policy implementation trajectories.
