Report of the Induction Programme for the Elected and Re-Elected Members of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, 23 - 25 March 2022, Maseru, Kingdom of Lesotho.

Abstract

The main objective of the Induction programme is to acquaint the newly-elected PSC Members with the mandate, functions, powers, work and working methods of the PSC, before the commencement of their respective terms on 1 April 2022. The programme also provided an opportunity for the outgoing and re-elected PSC Members to share with the new Members, perspectives, experiences, lessons learned and best practices, with the new Members with a view to further strengthening and enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the PSC in discharging its mandate. In addition, the Programme enabled the newly elected Members to understand the working relationships between the PSC and other strategic entities, including the entire AU Commission within the framework of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) and the African Governance Architecture (AGA).
