  1. Peace and Security Cluster of the RCM – AFRICA 13th RCM Meeting Addis Ababa 14-15 November 2012 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

  2. Cluster Achievements • Support and capacity-building assistance, both from UN and other partners • UNOAU, for example, provides 22 full-time planners tasked with both day-to-day support and capacity-building assistance • AU PSD believes they are already near full absorptive capacity • Cluster coordinates, incorporates cross-cutting themes, and plans joint activities, based on known AUC priorities

  3. Cluster Achievements • Clusters and its 4 sub-clusters • African Peace and Security Architecture • Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development, • Transitional Justice, and • Emergency Preparedness and Response planned and implemented 10 joint activities in 2012

  4. Key Challenges and Messages • Peace and Security objectives of 2006 Framework well on the way to being achieved; significant capacity-building support is being delivered to the AUC by the UN • But ownership of RCM process has not improved

  5. Key Challenges and Messages • AUC chairmanship of clusters and results-oriented programming, as called for in the 2010 Triennial Review, did not produce the desired improvement in AUC ownership • Problem is more fundamental: • Lack of perceived added value from the RCM process, itself caused by lack of consensus at the AUC over the importance of additional capacity-building

  6. Key Challenges and Messages • 2011 AUC needs assessment - no follow-up; ownership? • Cluster system and RCM Secretariat both need greater leadership from UN • New DSG, new leadership at the AUC and ECA, present an opportunity to address these problems. We are encourages by preliminary discussions with each of them.
