Call for Articles to Peacekeeping This Month
The African Peace Support Trainers Association (APSTA) was established in Pretoria, South Africa, in October 2002, as the African Chapter of the International Association of Peacekeeping Training Centres (IAPTC). Among others, the Association aims to provide a forum in which representatives from its members could discuss issues pertaining to their work - peace support training, explore areas of cooperation, and develop strategies on how to contribute to the capacity-building needs of the African Union and its sub-regional organisations.
The Association hosts an online bulletine ‘Peacekeeping This Month’ which offers the platform for members of the Assciation to discuss and debate as well as be informed of current issues pertaining to peacekeeping in general and peacekeeping training in particular. To make this bulletine a key source of informative commentaries or articles on peacekeeping issues in Africa, the Association wishes to invite its members and others to submit contributions on current issues on peacekeeping and peacekeeping training in Africa. We would like the articles to focus on the African Standby Force and the progress for its operationalization are particularly welcome.
