African Human Security Initiative (AHSI)
AHSI is a network of seven African non-governmental research organisations that got together to conduct a series of ‘shadow peer reviews’ in the spirit of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development. Choosing seven clusters of commitments made at the level of African Union Heads of State, the AHSI partners assessed how far a selection of African governments had come in implementing and respecting those commitments in practice.
Dr Anne Hammerstad, who ran SAIIA’s part of the project, reviewed AU commitments to democracy and political governance. AHSI was funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and administered by the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria. The first project results were released during the 2004 AU Summit. For more information and for the papers that were published, please go to the AHSI website.
