This [think] piece seeks to highlight key lessons that the joint AU/UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID), presents and their implications for regional peacekeeping training. The piece covers overviews of AMIS and UNAMID, to provide a basis for an assessment of the challenges and implications for the African Standby Force (ASF) regional training. It makes the point that such training policy frameworks should seek to address two broad imperatives. First, enhancement of strategic management capacities for decision-making at the policy level, and second, enhancement of operational capacities to smoothly activate and implement such policy decisions.
