Abstract:
This SRP will highlight the challenges the African military contingents faced when preparing and deployed in peacekeeping missions in Africa. The paper will in the same vein cover the main causes attributed to the difficulties and the perpetual dependency on assistance from the developed world. The overall objective is to analyze the effects of the poor African economies on the capabilities of the peacekeepers. This will basically relate to the current financial and logistical capacity of most African countries. Finally the paper will have conclusions and recommendations to enhance the capacity and performance of African peacekeepers in the United Nations and African Union missions.
