This journal opens with an overview of the transition from classical peacekeeping to more complex peacebuilding missions globally. Next, it discusses what civilian capacities the African Standby Force (ASF) should develop alongside its military and police components, explores the incidence of sexual exploitation and abuse by UN peacekeepers, and assesses the capacities of African peace support operations. It also explores the utility of a developmental peacekeeping approach and presents an article discussing the development of the African Standby Force (ASF), authored by the head of the Peace Support Operations Division at the AU.
