Our Mission :

The Africa Security Forum (ASF) embodies an overarching mission, that of being the intellectual and strategic spearhead in the fight for Africa’s security and stability. We are dedicated to identifying and resolving the continent’s most pressing security challenges, by mobilizing a comprehensive and concerted approach.

Our intrinsic commitment to Africa drives us to work closely with decision-makers, public institutions, recognized experts and international partners to forge practical, pragmatic and holistic solutions. By cultivating a spirit of cooperation, we aim to strengthen national and regional security capabilities, and encourage a collective approach to cross-border security challenges.

We see ourselves as vigilant guardians of integrity, transparency and ethics, scrupulously respecting international deontological standards in all our initiatives. Our mission is driven by a relentless quest for truth, knowledge and expertise, to develop strategies adapted to Africa’s complex and diverse realities.

We strive to stimulate intellectual reflection, research and innovation in the field of security. Our mission broadens the horizons of security by encompassing key dimensions such as economic security, food security, cybersecurity, counter-terrorism, crisis management and many others.

Our Commitment  :

As guardians of Africa’s security, we are resolutely committed to defending the continent’s sovereignty, peace and prosperity. Our commitment is imbued with a responsibility to present and future generations, and is aimed at forging a secure and peaceful future for Africa.

We are committed to listening to and including the diverse voices of African society, with a central place for women and young people, because we firmly believe that sustainable security cannot be achieved without the participation of all stakeholders.

Our commitment is marked by a spirit of perseverance and resilience in the face of the complex and evolving challenges facing Africa. We are determined to explore new approaches, embrace innovation and leverage new technologies to enhance security and counter emerging threats.

Through our annual editions, ASF is committed to promoting knowledge sharing, best practices and lessons learned. Our aim is to create a dynamic platform where the continent’s players can collaborate and learn from each other to tackle common security challenges.

Finally, our commitment is founded on the conviction that security in Africa is intrinsically linked to global security. We work in partnership with regional and international organizations, contributing to global efforts to promote peace, security and international cooperation.
