Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Gustavo de Carvalho, Chido Mutangadura &Dawit Yohannes<\/p>\n

The African Union (AU)\u2019s efforts to rebuild societies divided and damaged by conflict should be reconsidered to match the continent\u2019s current needs and realities.<\/p>\n

The body\u2019s post-conflict reconstruction and development (PCRD) policy adopted 15 years ago signalled a commitment not just to manage disputes but tackle their root causes in the search for sustainable peace.<\/p>\n

To mark this pledge, the AU\u2019s PCRD Awareness Week from November 7 to 13 aims to reflect on and strengthen Africa\u2019s peacebuilding efforts.<\/p>\n

For the AU, putting the 2006 policy into practice has been difficult for three reasonsFirst, the recurring nature of conflicts on the continent has left little room for peacebuilding, which follows once clashes have ended.<\/p>\n

Second, most PCRD work is directed from AU headquarters in Addis Ababa and carried out by several AU liaison offices.<\/p>\n

These offices have played a key role so far but require more support from the AU and member States.<\/p>\n

The liaison offices\u2019 function should be strengthened to enable direct engagement with local, national and regional stakeholders. Sustained financing is needed, along with better co-ordination of PCRD within AU.<\/p>\n

Peacebuilding should also be included in AU-related strategies.<\/p>\n

PCRD liaison offices require much more support from AU and its member States<\/p>\n

Third, despite the formation by AU of the African Solidarity Initiative in 2012, funding commitments from member States have been inadequate.<\/p>\n

The initiative was set up to facilitate intra-African co-operation and mobilise resources for PCRD. It recognised Africa\u2019s capacity to provide financial and technical support, which reduces the continent\u2019s reliance on international funding for peacebuilding.<\/p>\n

Perhaps AU\u2019s most innovative approach to PCRD was in The Gambia.<\/p>\n

In 2019, a 10-member team \u2014 AU Technical Support to The Gambia (AUTSTG) \u2014 was deployed in response to government request for support to the political transition after president Yahya Jammeh\u2019s fall.<\/p>\n

The small AUTSTG team was a departure from the usual approach and is worthy of replication in other contexts. In contrast to AU\u2019s relatively large missions, a small group of civilian experts and military personnel was seconded and co-located within government institutions.<\/p>\n

They mentored and advised officials on effective responses to the post-Jammeh political transition.<\/p>\n

This approach gave the team considerable access to implement PCRD initiatives from within the government.<\/p>\n

Among other tasks, the AUTSTG helped to get The Gambia\u2019s Human Rights Commission working, developed the first National Security Policy, structured the Office of the National Security Adviser, and restructured vital security institutions.<\/p>\n

These results were achieved despite funding shortages that eventually forced AU to end the team\u2019s deployment.<\/p>\n

The small AU team in The Gambia was a departure from the usual approach and is worthy of replication.<\/p>\n

In considering AU\u2019s role in peacebuilding, there seems to be a mismatch between objectives and outcomes. So, where can AU provide more value?<\/p>\n

There are several opportunities to bring post-conflict reconstruction and development back to the core of AU\u2019s peace and security work.<\/p>\n

One is the new Political Affairs, Peace and Security (PAPS) department that merged AU\u2019s political affairs and peace and security commissions.<\/p>\n

By linking AU\u2019s work on peace, security, politics and governance, its responses to instability should improve.<\/p>\n

With a synchronised institutional environment, PCRD policy can be better integrated with AU policy and strategy.<\/p>\n

Another opportunity is the new AU Centre for Post-Conflict and Reconstruction and Development that is expected to start work in Cairo in 2022.<\/p>\n

When the AU\u2019s institutional reforms are complete, the centre can link stakeholders in the AU Commission, regional economic communities and African States working on sustainable peace.<\/p>\n

The centre will provide a new space, capacity and better positioning for AU on peacebuilding.<\/p>\n

Success could hinge on how quickly the division of labour between the centre and PAPS is agreed upon, given their potential duplication of roles.<\/p>\n

PAPS commissioner Ambassador Bankole Adeoye\u2019s action plan suggests he is confident that the overlapping functions won\u2019t present an insurmountable challenge.<\/p>\n

The plan highlights the full operation of the centre and its role in promoting co-ordination on PCRD work.<\/p>\n

The new PCRD centre will provide better capacity for AU to undertake more robust peacebuilding.<\/p>\n

With the spotlight on peacebuilding this week, AU should consider four steps to increase its impact across the continent.<\/p>\n

First, it should kick-start a review and alignment of AU PCRD approaches to match the current nature of conflict in Africa, including the growing threat of climate change.<\/p>\n

Second, it should revitalise the African Solidarity Initiative.<\/p>\n

Progress on increasing the contributions to the AU Peace Fund shows a growing appetite among member States to mobilise continental resources.<\/p>\n

Co-ordination between governments, regional economic communities, the United Nations and the European Union is also essential.<\/p>\n

Third, innovative approaches such as those in The Gambia would prevent AU from spreading itself too thin and having little impact on the ground.<\/p>\n

In doing so, AU should work closely with local and national actors, including civil society organisations, which could spearhead PCRD implementation.<\/p>\n

Most fundamentally, AU and its member States must commit to unravelling the problem of recurring conflicts.<\/p>\n

This requires going back to the drawing board and adhering to AU\u2019s peace, security and democratic governance norms and principles.<\/p>\n
