Abstract:This paper reviews recent developments among African regional organizations in undertaking peacekeeping operations, as well as in preparing for future missions. It focuses on those that have been the most active: the Organisation of African Unity/African Union, the Economic Community of West African States and the Southern African Development Community. The paper briefly describes and analyses the activities of the French, UK, and US capacity-building programmes designed to develop African peacekeeping capacities. The author then identifies some specific concerns and recommends actions to help meet today's challenges. The paper concludes with a short analysis of African organizations' capacities and proclivities to provide a peacekeeping force for Sudan. Notes, ref., sum. [Journal abstract]
