The proposed study is based on the background research and the outcomes of the conference on “Ensuring Peace and Security in Africa: implementing the new Africa- EU Partnership and developing cooperation in de-mining and disarmament”, held at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome on October 7-9, 2009. The event was organised by the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), in cooperation with the EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) and Chatham House, with the support of the European Commission, the African Union and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It gathered together about 100 high-level stakeholders, including representatives from national, regional and international institutions (UN, EU, AU and African subregional organisations), experts from the research community and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).
