metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) was established in 2002 as a long-term
  structural response to the peace and security challenges across the continent. Unfortunately,
  Africa, especially the Eastern Africa region is involved in some of the world’s longest armed
  conflicts (DRC, Sudan / South Sudan, Somalia). The region is also occupied by states with vast
  geographical differences from the Horn of Africa countries, Small Island Developing States to
  majority of the African Great Lakes region states. The African Union (AU), despite its many
  attempts, has increasingly faced challenges in its work on conflict resolution and maintaining
  peace on the continent. Several challenges, for example lack of funds to support the institutions,
  have been cited over the years, however, one that strikingly misses is the organizational
  structure of APSA. As such, this article, using Eastern Africa region as a case study, seeks to
  critically analyse the APSA organizational structure. As a result, the author is able to unravel
  the gaps that exist in the architecture that does not reflect the distinct features of the region.
  The author concludes that there is an urgent need to restructure the APSA to offer tailor-made
  solutions to peace and security challenges that face the region.
