External donor and financial contribution of African Union (AU) member states to continental and regional arrangements dominate funding discourse in Africa’s peace and security. These discussions are mostly focussed on conflict response and management. Little attention is paid to whether and to what extent AU member state contribute to conflict prevention at national level planning, particularly as it concerns national budget and its implementation. Through a conflict prevention lens, there is little attention to the impact on the orientation, allocation and distribution, and implementation concerns as it particularly relates to their national budget. This implies the in-existence of an approach (talk less of an empirical and systematic one) to questioning if these member states actually invest in conflict prevention, how they do so (if they do) and the impact. Bringing this gap to the fore is an entry point for a lessons-learnt approach to trace past and existing patterns, distil best practices, and further the Agenda 2063. More so, by “following the money”, AU member states may be able to systematically learn from each other and this would be an encouraging indicator for a continent that seeks a paradigm shift from being reactive to proactiveness. Furthermore, IPSS acknowledges that what constitutes conflict prevention at national level and how it should be conceptualised also requires a critical and comprehensive approach.
The study will adopt a case study approach and rely on primary and secondary data tools to investigate how each case study conceive conflict prevention and its reflection on their national budgets. From a national perspective, we may therefore be able articulate and conceptualise what conflict prevention means at national level, weigh it against AU/RECs’ position within the framework of the Africa Peace and Security Architecture, and determine if each case study country invests in conflict prevention.
Against this backdrop, the Research and Policy Analysis Unit of the Africa Peace and Security Programme (APSP) at the Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS) and the African Leadership Centre (ALC) King’s College London (KCL) will conduct a study to engage this issue and produce a Special Peace and Security Report. This study is supported by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung African Union office (FES-AU)
