Le Réseau d’expertise et de formation francophone pour les opérations de paix (REFFOP)est un projet lancé le 14 janvier 2014 par l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) en partenariat avec ses Etats membres et avec l’ONU.

La plateforme internet du REFFOP vise à :

• Produire une information en français sur l'offre francophone en matière de soutien aux opérations de paix ;
• Mettre les ressources de formation francophone aux opérations de paix en adéquation avec les  standards onusiens ;
•  Favoriser la mobilisation de l’expertise civile francophone dans le cadre des opérations multidimensionnelles ;
• Renforcer la participation des personnels militaires, policiers et civils francophones dans les opérations de maintien de paix de l’ONU ;
• Favoriser l’usage de la langue française dans les opérations de paix, notamment grâce à la méthode « En Avant ! ».

Le REFFOP produit notamment un Répertoire des structures et formations francophones aux opérations de paix ainsi qu'une Cartographie de l'expertise civile francophone disponible en suivant les liens.

The Ukraine forum from the Chatham House brings together a dynamic group of stakeholders, including politicians, practitioners, civil society leaders, academics and journalists to examine the political situation in Ukraine. It is managed by Orysia Lutsevych and governed by a steering committee of eminent academics, journalists and funders, chaired by Robert Brinkley, UK ambassador to Ukraine (2002-06). 

Browse the Ukraine Forum to find updated insights on its internal reform agenda, its economic and social situation, and on conflict-related issues.

The Human Security Baseline Assessment for Sudan and South Sudan (HSBA) is a multi-year research project administered by the Small Arms Survey, an independent research project of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. Through the active generation and dissemination of timely empirical research, the project supports violence reduction initiatives.

The project publishes its findings regularly in three separate formats, Issue Briefs, Working Papers, and Facts & Figures reports, as well as occasional workshop reports, op-eds and practitioner articles. Publications are available in English, Arabic and French (in the case of research on the Central African Republic and Chad).

This database includes resources on policing and police accountability in Africa. It also includes resources that relate to specific regions on the continent. This database is in continual development. We encourage you to alert us on new policy and research from across Africa. We especially request this in relation to countries that do not appear below.

The Conflict Tracker provides an overview of incidents and fatalities in Africa.This interactive map tracks Africa's Conflict Events and Fatalities by Location and Type. 

Charts and visuals make use of the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). ACLED tracks conflicts by their specific dates, locations, group(s) involved, fatalities and type of event, as reported by the media. Charts and visuals for 2015 are updated monthly.

Conflict levels were high in the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War. Reported incidents and fatalities in Africa were at a low in the mid-2000s, but have risen since 2012, largely due to escalations in Egypt, CAR, DRC, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan and Somalia.

Case studies include: Central African Republic, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan.
