## Description

The African Union’s Political Affairs, Peace and Security Department works to prevent and resolve conflicts and sustain peace across Africa. Formed through a merger in 2021, the department brings together governance and conflict prevention, conflict management, peace support operations, mediation and dialogue, and the Peace and Security Council Secretariat. Its work addresses challenges including terrorism and violent extremism, unconstitutional changes of government, complex political transitions, public health security and climate-related insecurity.

The department supports preventive diplomacy, mediation, early warning, election observation and post-conflict reconstruction. It also plans, launches, sustains, monitors and closes AU-authorized peace support operations, while developing operational capabilities and mission support. Through programs such as Women, Gender, Peace and Security, Youth for Peace Africa, the AU Border Programme and Silencing the Guns, it advances regional approaches to peace and security. The department shares information through news, events, reports, policy documents, resolutions, treaties, communiqués and other resources. Its Peace and Security Council is the African Union’s standing decision-making body for the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts.
