POST-EVENT REPORT

FOREWORD Welcome to the Africa Security Symposium II Post-Event Report where, GRV Global would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who participated in the 2nd annual holding of this important event; a series promoting sustainable peace and security across Africa through public-private partnerships (PPPs) and advanced technologies/solutions. Following a very enjoyable and productive week at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi, this report contains a detailed overview of the various workshops and plenary sessions, solutions exhibition, afternoon matchmaking meetings, and networking functions including a large selection of photographs from the symposia. GRV Global would like to pass on our sincere gratitude to the various Government, U.S., International and United Nations agency officials that gave formal presentations across the two days, and were committed to meeting with event delegates throughout our afternoon matchmaking meeting sessions. We are extremely grateful for their kind time and support not only during the week of AFSec17 in Nairobi, Kenya but also, for their assistance during the build up to the event. GRV Global would like to express special thanks to Major General Arnold Fields, U.S. Marine Corps (RET), Chairman of the NAPA Standing Panel on International Affairs at the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), who once again, so expertly fulfilled the role of Conference Chair across the few days, adding great depth and value to discussions. In its second year, the Africa Security Symposium has been heralded as a significant success by both the participating officials and private-sector delegates alike; testimonials of which can be found later in this report. We welcomed over 250 local and international participants to Nairobi and facilitated over 700 face-to-face matchmaking meetings. Many security factors and challenges regarding lasting peace and development were discussed and some extremely valuable experiences were shared. As a result of this event and GRV Globalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethos of personable engagement, long-standing collaborations are sure to result and ultimately, a stronger base on which to build sustainable peace and security through PPPs. GRV Global would like to thank the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi and its professional & helpful staff for its support. We thank all our local partners for helping us to produce world-class materials such as the stage set, banners, all invitations and tickets, and of course the Official Event Guide; in addition to the local students who assisted with managing our registration desk and matchmaking meeting tables. Lastly and by no means least, GRV Global would truly like to thank our Event Sponsors for their support and attendance without which, events of this magnitude and importance would simply not be possible. The support shown by our partners and sponsors was emphatic and a true testament to the potential they see for peace and security across the African continent. Thank you for joining us in Nairobi, we look forward to welcoming you next year!

Africa Security Symposium II 2017 Post-Event Report In its second year, the Africa Security Symposium, held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi, was viewed as a significant success; bringing together hundreds of security and peacekeeping experts, from across Africa and beyond, for two days of direct engagement, through high-level plenary sessions, social networking functions, a solutions exhibition, and afternoon matchmaking meetings between public and private sector entities. The Africa Security Symposium II welcomed leading local, regional and global operators from across the security industry, representing a range of leading sectors, to hear from and meet with senior African Government officials, heads of UN missions, international agencies, and NGOs, all focussed on furthering the continent’s efforts to promote long-term development through sustainable security solutions.

In a relaxed, casual setting, event participants enjoyed an evening of ‘different’ barbequed meats and refreshments whilst being thoroughly entertained with an amazing performance of local music from the Samburu Dancers. It proved to be an ideal opportunity for all to reflect on the day’s talking points whilst continuing the discussions they had already started during the matchmaking meeting sessions.

Africa Security Symposium II participants would then enjoy a Networking Lunch Break, discussing the morning’s presentation highlights with newly established colleagues, on the Larder restaurant terrace. Heading back to the Radisson Blu’s Kilimanjaro Ballroom, the format of the event would change considerably to Matchmaking Meetings. Pre-event, delegates had been able to select their preferred one-to-one meetings with the event’s delegation of VIP speakers and officials. Through 15 minute, roundtable meetings, delegates were able to move around the room, following their own personalised schedule, introducing themselves to officials personally whilst looking to establish relationships that would essentially go on to aid the continent’s efforts for lasting peace and stability. In all, the event’s first day would see more than 350 private meetings take place and participants were quick to identify the format’s value and praised their efficiency and effectiveness. Whilst visiting Nairobi, some for the first time, GRV Global wanted to ensure participants experienced the African culture. All participants were invited to 8

During a brief interlude, Verint’s Vice President of Sales & Business Development for Africa, Sam Rabin would hold a prize draw. Selecting one lucky visitor to their exhibition stand, Pierre Chachay of Ecolog was delighted to win a new Go Pro Hero 4 camera! Africa Security Symposium II would conclude its morning plenary sessions with a Closing Ceremony. Special guest speaker Sammy Itemere, Principal Secretary at the State Department of Broadcasting & Telecommunications, of the Kenyan Ministry of Information, Communications & Telecommunication (ICT) would stress the importance of advancing technologies to Africa’s long-term efforts for peace and security, and also the vital need for continued collaborations between the public and private sector – a primary focus of the Government of Kenya. Concluding his vital role across the two days, Maj Gen Fields (RET), the event’s Official Conference Chair, would highlight the two day’s major talking points; he would take great comfort in gatherings of this kind, commend the admirable efforts of GRV Global, greatly encourage discussions to be taken forward to future events for follow-up etc., and sincerely wish that everyone would leave Nairobi as friends – new friends working together for Africa. In conclusion, and as he is known across the U.S. Marine Corps, the “Singing General” Maj Gen

Fields (RET) would recite and sing ‘No Man Is An Island’, by English poet John Donne, to rapturous applause. GRV Global’s CEO, Andy Dowell would take a final moment to sincerely thank all the speakers and officials for taking time out of their busy schedules to present to and meet with the event’s sponsors and delegates, his own GRV team and all the local suppliers GRV Global had used to produce a world-class event e.g. local students, printers, A/V and set specialists, photographer, and the Samburu Dancers (Cultural Diner), and lasting but certainly by no means least, heartfelt thanks to all the event’s valuable Sponsors who had made it possible to host the event in Nairobi, Kenya now in its second year. Although the Closing Ceremony had now taken place, a further change in format and a second afternoon session of Matchmaking Meetings, with the event’s delegation of VIP speakers and officials, would now ensue. Further discussion and collaborations were a plenty; hundreds of one-to-one meetings were held highlighting one of GRV Global’s key features – a hugely valuable and rare opportunity for key public and private sector stakeholders to meet in person, and create lasting relationships that may not have otherwise been aware to them. Come 6pm, it was time for participants to head back to their country of origin in order to follow-up on the hundreds of contacts they had made across the two days in Kenya. w w w. gr vglobal.com

Reflections from the Conference Chair Major General Arnold Fields U.S. Marine Corps (RET), Chairman, NAPA Standing Panel on International Affairs National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA)

There is no doubt that the current global security situation presents significant challenges to human existence, even in the most advanced corners of civilization. In this regard, Africa has not been spared and while genuine efforts have been made over many years to advance the continent, much remains to be accomplished. Cooperative initiatives at all levels of society are imperative, be they at the local, state, national or international echelons. There is also much to be said about nongovernmental forums at which we find a mixture of cross-cutting discussions, and at times, debates, about how we should tackle our most vexing issues and the way ahead. The Africa Security Symposium hosted in Nairobi, Kenya 20-21 June 2017 is a superb example of how government, non-government and private sector leaders and entrepreneurs are willing to take part on their own volition in a collegial forum to discuss common security issues and most importantly, to seek solutions to them. Over 150 senior leaders, including top level government and business officials from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the United Nations, the United States, and more attended this event. The Honorable Ali Mohamed Gedi, former Prime Minister, Government of Somalia, headed the array of distinguished speakers and panelists. During his formal remarks, former Prime Minister Gedi emphasized the importance of efficient and effective decision making. I was personally honored to share the stage and the entire conference with him, a well-tested and proven national leader. Our collective conference mandate was to help the African continent prepare and enhance its

w w w. g r vg l o b a l . co m

capacity to address its challenges. In so doing, we concluded that it is imperative that the continent maximize available expertise, invest in the latest technologies and shore up its collaboration and coordination with neighboring states, regions and the international community. The fight against terror and its impact on social order emerged as one of the key issues on which the participants elected to focus. In my brief conference roll-up after a full two days of activity, I advised that as we pursue solutions to terror and all its root causes and underpinnings, it is imperative that we engage each other as nations, regions, institutions, businesses and individuals. Each one of us is somewhere on the continuum of resolving our problems and is either making noise (complaining about the issues but offering no solutions), providing actionable information, educating the public, enlightening decision makers and resource owners, effecting change. No single symposium or conference will resolve all our security issues, but I do believe that each one provides opportunities and venues in which to help educate and enlighten, which may lead to change and problem resolution. GRV Global is a change agent in this regard, bent on making a difference. I congratulate GRVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership and look forward to their next event in search of Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peace and security. I also wish to thank all participants and supporters who took time away from busy schedules to actively take part in the Africa Security Symposium. It was a very rewarding and enlightening experience for me and a special honor to chair the proceedings.

You are making a difference and on a glide path to change the world.” Major General Arnold Fields, U.S. Marine Corps (RET) “We wish to communicate the highest gratitude of the Minister of State of Defence of Uganda, Hon. Okello Charles Engola for the warm reception and hospitality that was extended to him and his team by GRV Global. In particular the excellent presentations by the esteemed and most knowledgeable presenters of the various topics discussed.” Maj Victor Opera, Military Assistant “Great event of a kind, that would help African Counter Terrorism endeavours.” Amb. Akwoch D. Ding, MFA&IC South Sudan

“A note to thank the entire GRV team and the support staff in Nairobi for a superb venue. The speed-dating concept is genius, so keep it up! Looking forward to the review on the event website...” Troy Smith, Raytheon Blackbird Technologies “Many thanks for an excellent couple of days in Nairobi at the Symposium. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought your collective approach to it all and your inclusive manner was first class. I found the lectures/presentations of professional interest to me but the outstanding activity was the ‘speed dating’ which I found both different and rewarding so thank you for that.” Richard Beatson, Pearson Engineering “GRV team, I would like to thank you on behalf of Verint and myself for the professional and insightful event you have organized in Nairobi. We found the one-on-one meetings efficient and fruitful. In addition, your personal assistance in introducing us to organizations beyond the official schedule was very helpful and is appreciated.” Moshe Samoha, Verint “Thank you for this opportunity to attend the Africa Security Symposium in Nairobi, it was well organized and I had the chance to meet very important companies who will be most well come in Mozambique for corporation.

Selection of participants was great and indeed only business related, keep it up!” Dmytro Smirnov, Ukrainian Helicopters PJSC “Very well organised, good contacts, great to have ‘it all in one space’, but, Motorola would have been better off with another 50% space.” Jerry Nachmann, Motorola Solutions “I’d like to thank GRV Global for setting up and hosting the Symposium in this format. Very interesting statements and presentations had been given by relevant stakeholders, followed by short precise discussion rounds. The Matchmaking sessions brought the right people together and were excellent to establish contacts. The venue itself was prepared in an excellent and professional manner.” Stefan Mayer, EUNAVFOR

“The event was very well organised in terms of topics, presentations and sessions as well as having the exhibition within the main hall. I have also to commend the organisers on the arrangement of the matchmaking meetings which facilitated the interaction among participants.” Tarek Awaad, African Union Commission (AUC); Committee of Intelligence & Security Service of Africa (CISSA) “This is a wonderful event, that should continuously be arranged on regular time basis because it provides a platform for security experts to shape the security environment.” Maj Victor Opera, Uganda Ministry of Defence. “Of all the events we attend, we found the matchmaking sessions the most rewarding as we had the opportunity to meet, network and exchange business cards, it was very well organised. GRV staff were exceptionally professional and helpful to get us connected to more people on an Ad Hoc basis.” Gerald Mohrmann, Sat-Com (Pty) Ltd

ROUNDTABLE PROFILES AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (AFDB) The overarching objective of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group is to spur sustainable economic development and social progress in its regional member countries (RMCs), thus contributing to poverty reduction. The Bank Group achieves this objective by: mobilizing and allocating resources for investment in RMCs; and providing policy advice and technical assistance to support development efforts. In 2015, all multilateral development institutions have agreed on a same set of objectives, called the Sustainable Development Goals. The African Development Bank’s Strategy for 2013–2022 reflects the aspirations of the entire African continent. It is firmly rooted in a deep understanding and experience of how far Africa has come in the last decade, and where it wishes to go to in the next. This ten-year Strategy will focus on two objectives to improve the quality of Africa’s growth: inclusive growth, and the transition to green growth. Along the way, the Bank identifies five operational priorities: Infrastructure development, Regional economic integration, Private sector development, Governance and accountability, and Skills & technology. In implementing its ten-year Strategy, and as an integral part of the two objectives, the Bank will pay particular attention to fragile states, agriculture and food security, and gender. AFRICAN PEACE SUPPORT TRAINERS ASSOCIATION (APSTA) SECRETARIAT The African Peace Support Trainers Association (APSTA) was initially founded in 2001, in order to deepen the debate on peacekeeping training. APSTA is the independent premier Pan-African association with close working relations with the African Union (AU), notably with the AU Commission and Regional Economic Communities/ Mechanisms (RECs/RMs), as well as other regional and international partners and stakeholders, including the IAPTC (International Association of Peacekeeping Training Centres) of which it is its African Chapter. The APSTA has continuously sought to deepen the debate and efforts towards peacekeeping capacity building in Africa through education, teaching, training, research, and policy implementation support and advocacy that are working in the area of peace and security in the African continent. APSTA remains a voluntary association with a membership of African centres of excellence, working in peacekeeping and peace support operations capacity building, and whose core activities and functions are the delivery of practical training, research and policy implementation support. The Association’s initial membership has gradually grown and currently has 17 active member institutions drawn from 12 countries. AFRICAN UNION COMMISSION (AUC); COMMITTEE OF INTELLIGENCE & SECURITY SERVICE OF AFRICA (CISSA) CISSA was established on 26 August 2004 in Abuja, Nigeria by Heads of Intelligence and Security Services of Africa. CISSA’s raison d’etre is to assist the African Union and all its institutions to effectively address the seemingly intractable security challenges confronting Africa. It was also conceived as mechanism of dialogue, study, analysis, consulting, concerting, and adopting common strategies towards common security challenges among Intelligence and Security Organisations of Africa.

Solutions For the Future

ROUNDTABLE PROFILES AFRICAN UNION MISSION IN SOMALIA (AMISOM) The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is an active, regional peacekeeping mission operated by the African Union with the approval of the United Nations. It was created by the African Union’s Peace and Security Council on 19th January 2007. On 20th February 2007, the United Nations Security Council authorised the African Union to deploy a peacekeeping mission with a mandate of six months. The aim of the peacekeeping mission was to support a national reconciliation congress and requested a report within 60 days on a possible United Nations Peacekeeping Mission. In October, 2014, the Security Council (Resolution 2182 (2014) ) gave a green light to the African Union to continue its mission in Somalia until 30th November 2015. Furthermore the council authorized the African Union mission to take all measures, as appropriate, to carry out support for dialogue and reconciliation by assisting with free movement, safe passage and protection of all those involved in a national reconciliation congress involving all stakeholders, including political leaders, clan leaders, religious leaders and representatives of civil society. AFRICAN UNION-UNITED NATIONS OPERATION IN DARFUR (UNAMID) UNAMID is a joint African Union (AU) and United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission formally approved by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1769 on 31 July 2007 to bring peace and stability to the war-torn Darfur region of Sudan while peace talks on a final settlement continue. The African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS), which was previously responsible for peacekeeping, had completely merged into this new force by 31 December 2007. The current authorized strength of uniformed personnel is 19,248 supported by national and international staffs. The annual budget is US $ 1.039 billion. The current mandate was renewed on 29th June 2016 (UNSCR-2296) for up to 30 June 2017, focussing on: Protection of civilians, Contributing to security for humanitarian assistance, Monitoring and verifying implementation of peace agreements, Assisting an inclusive political process, and Contributing to the promotion of human rights and the rule of law. A new mandate for the mission will be issued from July, 2017. CARE INTERNATIONAL IN KENYA CARE International in Kenya (CIK) is a development and humanitarian organization whose mission is to combat social injustice and global poverty. CARE commenced its humanitarian programs in Kenya in 1968 targeting around 2 million people in Kenya per year. Major programmes are in refugee assistance, health, water and sanitation, financial inclusion, adaptation to climate change, disaster risk reduction, agricultural value chains and humanitarian/emergency response with an average annual budget of approximately US$ 35 million. According to Aid Worker Security Report (2011) Humanitarian Outcomes, in the year 2011, 308 aid workers were killed, kidnapped or wounded. Unfortunately, one of the kidnapped was a CARE Kenya aid worker based in Dadaab! Notwithstanding the high risk, CARE continues to work in dangerous locations in Kenya. CARE’s safety and security professional staff continuously find ways of doing so without endangering CARE’s most precious resources - staff, assets and programs. As much as risk cannot be eliminated, it can be managed proactively. CARE’s safety and security philosophy is based on gaining and maintaining community ‘acceptance’, which implies a need to ensure effective relationships with all stakeholders in our areas of operations. Consequently, the risk level has been greatly mitigated to acceptable threshold.

The process of establishing the formal structures to address peace and security issues in the region began in 1999, and up to date COMESA has curved its niche around economic and other structural causes of conflict, through programs including: 1) the establishment of a Conflict Early Warning System (COMWARN) - a regional conflict early warning system specialising in analyzing and highlighting the structural and dynamic factors that continue to influence conflicts in the region; 2) Maritime Security Program; 3) Democratic Governance Program; and 4) Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development (PCRD) Program.

ROUNDTABLE PROFILES EGYPTIAN MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is entrusted with conducting the country’s foreign relations within the framework of the Egyptian Cabinet. It is also concerned with planning and implementing the country’s foreign policy, and coordinating with the other ministries and institutions concerned. The Ministry also plays an essential role in collecting and evaluating political, economic, cultural, and scientific information that may affect foreign relations. Since development is considered one of the key objectives of the state’s general policy, the Foreign Ministry engages in the country’s comprehensive development efforts by trying to attract foreign investments, obtain economic assistance, and facilitate technology transfer. Ever since the link between what is domestic and what is international grew, the Foreign Ministry has been cooperating with the international community through international organizations such as the United Nations. Transnational threats, such as global terrorism, international organized crime, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, have emerged and spread widely over the past years, and can be addressed only through collective action. Therefore, the Ministry tries to play an active role in the UN and its specialized agencies, as well as in various other international institutions to foster international peace, security, and economic development. EU CAPACITY BUILDING MISSION IN SOMALIA (EUCAP SOMALIA) In July 2012, the EU launched EUCAP Nestor, a civilian mission which assists host countries develop self-sustaining capacity for enhancement of maritime security. At its launch, EUCAP Nestor was mandated to work across the Horn of Africa (HoA) and Western Indian Ocean (WIO). As of the end of 2015, following a strategic review of the Mission, activities focus solely on Somalia (including Somaliland) with Mission Headquarters currently located in Mogadishu. On March 1st 2017, EUCAP Nestor was renamed “EUCAP Somalia”, the EU Capacity Building Mission in Somalia. EUCAP Somalia operates under a new, broadened civilian maritime security mandate. With an active presence in Mogadishu, Hargeisa (Somaliland) and Garowe (Puntland), EUCAP Somalia works to strengthen Somali capacity to ensure maritime security, carry out fisheries inspection and enforcement, ensure maritime search and rescue, counter smuggling, fight piracy and police the coastal zone on land and at sea. EUNAVFOR EU Naval Force Somalia (EU NAVFOR), Operation Atalanta, was launched in December 2008 by European Union Member States in response to rising levels of piracy off the coast of Somalia. Pirate attacks were costing billions of euros to the global economy and compromising World Food Programme shipments to the famine-ridden country, and whilst attacks are being suppressed, it is assessed that there are still pirates, who given the opportunity, would go out to sea and attack seafarers and their vessels for ransom. EU NAVFOR has its Operational Headquarters in Northwood, London, and Force Headquarters aboard an EU flagship in the Area of Operations off the coast of Somalia. Warships are deployed to Operation Atalanta by EU Member States on a rotational basis and complemented by EU maritime air patrol assets based out of Djibouti. Nations, for example Serbia and Lithuania, also provide maritime protection teams on a rotational basis; the teams embark vulnerable WFP vessels for six months at a time to ensure that the much-needed humanitarian aid on board arrives safely into port. To date, EU NAVFOR has protected over 400 WFP humanitarian vessels and helped to ensure over 1.2 million tonnes of food-aid reached Somalia.

Established in 1997 through a merger between the United Nations Drug Control Programme and the Centre for International Crime Prevention, UNODC operates in all regions of the world through an extensive network of field offices. UNODC relies on voluntary contributions, mainly from Governments, for 90 per cent of its budget. UNODC is mandated to assist Member States in their struggle against illicit drugs, crime and terrorism. In the Millennium Declaration, Member States also resolved to intensify efforts to fight transnational crime in all its dimensions, to redouble the efforts to implement the commitment to counter the world drug problem and to take concerted action against international terrorism. In pursuing its objectives, UNODC makes every effort to integrate and mainstream the gender perspective, particularly in its projects for the provision of alternative livelihoods, as well as those against human trafficking. UN ORGANIZATION STABILIZATION MISSION IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (MONUSCO) The mandate of MONUSCO is to protect civilians and consolidate peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. MONUSCO took over from an earlier UN peacekeeping operation – the United Nations Organization Mission in Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) – on 1 July 2010. It was done in accordance with Security Council resolution 1925 of 28 May to reflect the new phase reached in the country. The new mission has been authorized to use all necessary means to carry out its mandate relating, among other things, to the protection of civilians, humanitarian personnel and human rights defenders under imminent threat of physical violence and to support the Government of the DRC in its stabilization and peace consolidation efforts.

UN WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME (WFP) WFP Regional Bureau, Nairobi: Supporting WFP operations in East and Central Africa (South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia). WFP is the leading humanitarian organization fighting hunger, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. Globally, on any given day, WFP has 5,000 trucks, 40 oceanic shipments and 70 planes on the move, delivering food and other assistance to those in most need. WFPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts focus on emergency assistance, relief and rehabilitation, development aid and special operations. Twothirds of our work is in conflict-affected countries where people are three times more likely to be undernourished than those living in countries without conflict. This is exceptionally relevant for this region, given we work with refugees and returnees in all of our countries. Regional Security Approach: Under the WFP Security Framework of Accountability, the Regional Security Officers (RSO) team is empowered and accountable within the Security Divisions area of responsibility for maximising the safety and security of WFP staff and assets. This is in line with the WFP decentralised management approach in ensuring our country office teams get the best possible support. The RSO has technical over sight of all deployed Field Security Officers in the region, in direct support of WFP programmes. The RSO team includes security analysis, training, operational support and surge capacities. Regular analysis supports operational planning and empowers security advice with a field orientated approach. Information and intelligence translates rapidly into networked, actionable security support for the development of effective security mitigation. We provide specific knowledge of the threats and risks in a country or region and advice on mitigation and prevention measures. Our areas of expertise are: risk assessment and risk management; operational planning and crisis management; context and conflict analysis; training to enable field security operations; gender considerations in security management; information management; humanitarian access analysis and negotiation; hostage and incident negotiation and management; physical security and blast mitigation. UNITED NATIONS MISSION IN LIBERIA (UNMIL) The current mandate of UNMIL consists of five main tasks: Protection of civilians, from threat of physical violence, within its capabilities and areas of deployment in the event of a deterioration of security situation leading to strategic reversal, without prejudice to the primary responsibility of the Liberian authorities; Support reform of justice and security institutions by assisting the Government of Liberia in developing the leadership, internal management, professionalization and accountability mechanisms of the LNP, with a particular focus on elections security; Carry out promotion, protection and monitoring activities of human rights in Liberia, with special attention to violations and abuses committed against children and women, and to support the government to combat SGBV and impunity; Protect the United Nations personnel, installations and equipment and ensure the security and freedom of movement of United Nations and associated personnel; and Support the GOL within capabilities to meet urgent gaps in the 2017 general elections.

ROUNDTABLE PROFILES UNITED NATIONS OFFICE TO THE AFRICAN UNION (UNOAU) The United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU) was established by UN General Assembly Resolution 64/288 in 2010. The office has three core aims to: (a.) Enhance the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union in the area of peace and security; (b.) Provide coordinated and consistent United Nations advice to the African Union on long-term capacity-building and short-term operational support matters; and (c;) Streamline the United Nations presence in Addis Ababa to make it cost-effective and efficient in delivering UN assistance to the AU. UNOAU integrated the three existing offices: DPA Liaison Office, the DPKO AU Peace Support Team and the DFS Planning Team for Somalia to support AMISOM, as well as the support component of the UNAMID Joint Support Coordination Mechanism office in Addis Ababa. The Institutional & Operational partnership Division seeks to provide coordinated and consistent UN advice to the AU on long-term capacity building and short-term operational support matters, as well as contribute to the overarching goal of enhancing the AU-UN partnership in peace and security. In practice, the Division provides support to the AU Commission in the planning, start-up, management and liquidation of ongoing African Union peace support operations. The main focus of this work, is on the management of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), as well as on planning and institutional capacity development for future operations through the development of the African Standby Force. UNOAU peacekeeping planners draw upon UN experience and best practices and help adapt these to the specific needs of the AU. UNOPS EAST AFRICA HUB (EAH), NAIROBI UNOPS is an operational arm of the United Nations, helping a range of partners’ implement $1 billion worth of aid and development projects every year.

USAID/KENYA AND EAST AFRICA USAID works with regional intergovernmental organizations—the East African Community, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa—and with regional private sector and civil society groups to implement effective solutions to regional development challenges. USAID promotes regional economic integration and coordination throughout East Africa. With their partners, USAID works to address those regional issues that countries cannot tackle on their own – reducing barriers to trade, increasing private sector investment in regional production and marketing for goods and services, promoting intra-regional trade in staple foods and livestock to improve food security, harmonizing agricultural standards and streamlining border trade processes within the region.
