SUMMARY:Emerging Technologies and their Impact on Peace and Security in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Click here to download – Concept Note(en) : Concept Note(fr) | Agenda(en) | Agenda(fr) \nTo Register –  \nThe emergence of new technologies has created new opportunities in the areas of peace and security especially in conflict prevention\, peace operations\, peace building. New technologies have made it possible to collect data in crime and conflict enhancing the efficiency of early warning and response. Peace operations can now be implemented in asymmetric threat environment and monitoring and observation can be performed more efficiently as a result of this advancement. Similarly\, they foster the peacebuilding efforts down to local level. In addition\, changes in technology have always impacted theatres of war and peace. With such advancement comes the engagement of new technologies such as drones and other modern forms of hybrid warfare that introduces their own set of new challenges. They also carry the potential for adverse effects like the danger posed by the militarization of emerging technologies\, especially if used in the context of terrorism. Moreover\, cell phones and the Internet in addition to enhancing civic participation and empowerment are increasingly being employed to facilitate conflicts by serving as channel of communication\, control public belief\, raise awareness on new warfare techniques\, documenting intelligence\, and taking on cyber-attacks by Violent extremists\, organized crime and gangs etc.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Pre Tana 2021 Regional Multi-Stakeholders' Dialogue:  Human and Drug Trafficking in Africa: Unlocking Human Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Click here to download – Concept Note (EN)  :  (FR) | Agenda (EN) : (FR) \nClick here to – Register \nVenue: Online via Zoom \nDrug and human trafficking is not only a global issue affecting everyone from all corners of the world but also an extensive and prevalent threat to peace and security in Africa. The challenges of drug trafficking has risen above all five regions of the continent where some are experiencing a rapid and disastrous decline. Besides engaging in illegal cultivation\, manufacture\, distribution and sale of prohibited substance\, drug trafficking fosters other forms of crime\, such as money laundering\, corruption etc. It is also employed to raise income necessary to acquire weapons either by corrupting government officials responsible for the enforcement of law\, the military or by misusing funds allocated to conflict resolution. This among others further set hurdles and lengthen the duration of armed conflicts making them more fatal. It is also an ideal source of money for terrorist groups\, sustaining crime\, criminal acts and deteriorating the rule of law. The continent is not only a major transit route in the international trade of controlled drugs but also major consumer and distributer. Coupled with the youth bulge and growing level of unemployment\, this scenario pauses further threats to security in Africa.

SUMMARY:Virtual Pre-Tana Regional Multi-Stakeholders’ Dialogue: The AfCFTA and Private Sector: Unlocking Potentials beyond the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Click here to download   ConceptNote | Webinar Guidelines  \nVenue: Online via KUDO\, Register here \nThe Institute for Peace and Security Studies/IPSS/ with the Mission of Japan to the African Union are jointly organizing a Joint Virtual Multi stakeholders Tana pre-forum on the topic: The AfCFTA and Private Sector: Unlocking potentials beyond the Pandemic. The virtual session will be held on 22 September 2020. \nThe Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa (Tana Forum) aims at bridging the gap between policy making and policy implementation by bringing together Heads of State and Government\, experts\, prominent personalities\, leaders of international and regional institutions\, civil society organizations\, the private sector\, eminent scholars\, academics and socially engaged youth to discuss timely issues in a spirit of commonality and moral duty towards finding sustainable African-centered solutions to peace and security challenges facing the continent. The informal nature of the Forum lends a different approach to discussing security issues on the continent. The Forum is not intended to deliver official declarations; instead\, it is stimulated by the desire to engage in fresh\, candid\, and in-depth discussions and debates on pressing peace and security issues to produce innovative solutions. The 9th Tana Forum will be held virtually for the first time on the theme ‘The AfCFTA: Revitalizing Pan Africanism for Sustainable Peace and Development in Africa’ in October 2020.
