Capacity-building in the African context

The Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria, South Africa organized the fourth seminar in November 1999 focusing on issues related to capacity building in the African context.

Faced with tremendous challenges to peace and stability on the African continent, the seminar focused on issues related to capacity building in the African context. The result was a rich discussion of the nature of African conflicts, trends in peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance, challenges to peace posed by the outsourcing of security, security sector reform, regional capacity-building, and doctrinal development. 
The seminar participants who visited the South Africa Army College, were briefed on Exercise Blue Crane and training facilities at the Army College.
