Authors note:
Thanks to Georgina Sinclair, Feargal Cochrane, and Tim French for their help with this briefing (all mistakes are the authors’ own).
In the first half of 2020, the Oxford Research Group (ORG) held a series of four face-to-face and online roundtables to understand the risks and challenges remote warfare could present over the next five years and how the Integrated Review could address them.
Three key questions emerged:
How should the UK respond to threats?
How should the UK measure the success of military interventions?
This briefing seeks to address the third of these questions. You can read the first of the three briefings here and the second one here.
The African Union’s Economic, Social and Cultural Council (AU-ECOSOCC) and the Common
Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) are holding consultations with Civil Society
Organizations (CSOs) in Zambia to enhance partnerships and collaboration in peace and security
initiatives.
The consultations were held from 16 th – 21 st November 2020, are meant to strengthen the twoOrgans’ collaboration with CSOs within the framework of the AU theme of the year 2020:‘Silencing the Guns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa’s Development.’
Further, the consultations provide an opportunity for ECOSOCC and COMESA to identifyprogram synergies and opportunities for technical cooperation.
In addition to developing a joint roadmap to support the development of a CSO accreditation mechanism at the regional and continental level, the two institutions will also undertake a planning session with the Zambian.
