"This report examines issues surrounding African police personnel in peacekeeping missions. It looks at the kind of roles African police play in these missions, and at how they help fill current needs for peacekeeping police. The report outlines how non-African nations contribute to African capacity, and identifies the challenges faced by African nations in contributing police to peacekeeping missions. The authors argue that this contribution should be welcomed and encouraged by the world community and provide recommendations as to how Africa can continue to develop its police capacity."
