Udkastet til strategisk gennemgang af EUCAP Sahelmissionen i Niger har allerede taget fat p at gżre missionens aktiviteter mere bžredygtige ved at indfżre bžredygtighed som underliggende princip for missionernes arbejde i den kommende mandatperiode. 
The draft Strategic Review of EUCAP Sahel Niger has already addressed the issue of making Mission's activities sustainable inter alia by introducing sustainability as an underlying principle of the MissionsŐ work in the upcoming mandate.
Bžredygtighed vil ikke lžngere kun vžre knyttet til uddannelse og rdgivning som en af de fem mlsžtninger, men bżr strżmlines med henblik p at fremme overgang. 
Sustainability will no longer be linked only with the training and advice as one of the five objectives, but should be mainstreamed to facilitate transition.
Anbefaling 5: EU-Udenrigstjenesten accepterer anbefalingen og opfordrer Retten til at tage FSFP-missionernes specificitet i betragtning. 
Recommendation 5: The EEAS accepts the recommendation and invites the ECA to take into consideration the specificity of the CSDP Missions.

The EEAS will contribute to the upcoming development of guidelines on a Monitoring and Evaluating applicable to both CSDP and Commission activities in the Security Sector Reform area (in line with the 2015 Joint Communication on "Capacity Building in support of Security and Development" and the 2016 Joint Communication 'Elements for an EU-wide Strategic Framework for supporting Security Sector Reform').
Forslaget om at gennemfżre eksterne evalueringer af missionerne skal vedtages i form af en afgżrelse fra Rdet.

Niger og Mali er skrżbelige stater i Vestafrika, hvis sikkerhed er truet af terrorgrupper, usikre gržnser og irregulžr migration. 
Niger and Mali are fragile states in Western Africa, whose security is threatened by the presence of terrorist groups, insecure borders and irregular migration.
For at reagere p disse trusler etablerede EU FSFP-missioner i henholdsvis 2012 og 2014 med henblik p at styrke kapaciteten hos de indre sikkerhedsstyrker ved at give undervisning og rdgivning samt levere udstyr. 
In order to respond to these threats, the EU set up CSDP Missions, respectively in 2012 and 2014, to strengthen the capacity of internal security forces by providing training, advice and equipment.
EU bevilgede 69 455 000 euro til EUCAP Sahel Niger i perioden 2012-2017 og 66 475 000 euro til EUCAP Sahel Mali i perioden 2014-2017. 
Between 2012 and 2014, respectively and 2017, the EU allocated Ű69 455 000 to EUCAP Sahel Niger and Ű66 475 000 to EUCAP Sahel Mali.
Vi konkluderede, at missionerne var relativt vellykkede, men at der kun var sket langsomme fremskridt. 
We concluded that the Missions had some success but that progress was slow.
Dette skyldtes de vanskelige forhold, missionerne arbejdede under, men ogs vanskeligheder af operationel karakter. 
This was due to the difficult context in which the Missions worked, but also because of operational difficulties.
Vi fremsžtter en ržkke anbefalinger til forbedring af operationel effektivitet, bžredygtighed og overvgning. 
We make a number of recommendations for improving operational efficiency, sustainability and monitoring.

RESUM I. Staterne i Den Afrikanske Union (AU) etablerede i 2002 den afrikanske freds-og sikkerhedsarkitektur (APSA) som en langsigtet strukturel reaktion p freds-og sikkerhedsudfordringerne p det afrikanske kontinent. 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. The member states of the African Union (AU) established the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) in 2002 as a long-term structural response to the peace and security challenges on the African continent.
Gennem APSA har Den Afrikanske Union (AU) og de bemyndigede subregionale organisationer (SRO'er) adgang til vžrktżjer, som giver dem mulighed for at forebygge, hndtere og lżse konflikter. 
Through the APSA, the African Union (AU) and mandated sub-regional organisations (SROs) have access to tools which help them to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts.
I vores revision undersżgte vi EU's stżtte til APSA. 
In our audit, we examined the EUŐs support for the APSA.
Vi vurderede, om EU's stżtte var godt udformet og mlrettet, om den bidrog til opnelse af bžredygtige resultater, og om den var godt gennemfżrt. 
We assessed whether EU support was well designed and targeted, whether it contributed to sustainable results, and whether it was implemented well.
Vi reviderede kontrakter med en samlet vžrdi p over 100 millioner euro, som blev indget af Kommissionen i perioden fra 2014 til 2016. 
We audited contracts whose total value exceeded Ű100 million, which were concluded by the Commission in the period from 2014 to 2016.
Samlet set konkluderer vi, at EU's stżtte til APSA har haft ringe effekt og bżr have nyt fokus. 
Overall we conclude that the EUŐs support for the APSA has had a poor effect and needed refocusing.
Selv om der var udarbejdet en bred strategisk ramme, konstaterede vi, at EU's stżtte til APSA lžnge havde fokuseret p at bidrage til džkningen af de grundlžggende driftsomkostninger. 
Although a broad strategic framework is in place, we found that EU support for APSA had long been focused on contributing to its basic operational costs.
Som fżlge af Den Afrikanske Unions svage finansielle ejerskab af APSA har APSA i mange r vžret meget afhžngig af stżtte fra donorer. 
Due to weak financial ownership of the APSA by the African Union, the APSA has been for many years heavily dependent on the support of donors.
EU har bidraget finansielt til APSA's forskellige komponenter, men kvaliteten af disse komponenters kapacitet varierer betydeligt, og der er fortsat mange udfordringer. 
EU has financially contributed to the APSA's components, but the quality of the capacities of these components varies considerably and several challenges remain.
Vi konstaterede, at EU ikke havde opstillet klare prioriteter for sin stżtte til APSA, og at EU's strategi manglede en langsigtet vision for udviklingen af stżtten. 
We found that the EU did not set clear priorities for EU support for the APSA and its strategy lacked a long-term vision for the evolution of its support.
I den reviderede periode fokuserede EU ikke tilstržkkeligt p overgangen fra betaling af lżnninger til mlrettet kapacitetsopbygning for at sikre en vellykket EU-stżtte p lang sigt. 
During the period audited, the EU did not focus sufficiently on the transition away from paying salaries and towards targeting capacity-building to ensure the long-term success of EU support.
EU stżttede AU's planer om at opn finansiel uafhžngighed for at kunne džkke en stadig stżrre del af APSA's driftsomkostninger, men gennemfżrelsen var stadig p et tidligt stadium. 
The EU supported the AUŐs plans for achieving financial independence in order to be able to take on a growing proportion of operational costs for the APSA, but implementation was still at an early stage.
V. Vi konstaterede ogs, at seks af de 14 kontrakter, vi reviderede, som primžrt vedrżrte personaleomkostninger, havde leveret de fleste af de forventede resultater p revisionstidspunktet. 
V. We also found that six of the fourteen contracts we audited, which mainly concerned staff costs, had delivered most of the expected results by the time of the audit.
To havde kun delvis leveret de forventede resultater, og en enkelt havde slet ikke leveret. 
Two had only partially and one had not delivered.
I fem tilfžlde betżd gennemfżrelsesforsinkelser, at vi ikke kunne vurdere, om kontrakten havde leveret eller ej. 
In five cases, implementation delays meant that we could not assess whether the contract had delivered or not.
Forsinkelser i forbindelse med kontraktindgelse, anvendelse af finansiering med tilbagevirkende kraft og mangel p 2 
Furthermore, delays in contracting, retroactive financing, and a paucity of information on results achieved 2
I den reviderede periode blev finansieringsinstrumenterne ikke altid brugt p en konsekvent mde. 
During the period audited, financing instruments were not always used coherently.
P grundlag af bemžrkningerne i denne beretning anbefaler Revisionsretten: i. at Kommissionen og EU-Udenrigstjenesten fremmer AU's ejerskab af APSA med henblik p at opn finansiel uafhžngighed og žndrer EU-stżttens fokus fra driftsomkostninger til kapacitetsopbygningsforanstaltninger ii. at Kommissionen gżr interventionerne konsekvent resultatbaserede, reducerer forsinkelserne i forbindelse med kontraktindgelse og anvendelsen af finansiering med tilbagevirkende kraft, forbedrer overvgningen og bruger finansieringsinstrumenterne p en konsekvent mde. 
On the basis of the observations in this report, the Court recommends that: i. the Commission and the EEAS foster AU ownership of the APSA in order to achieve financial independence and refocus EU support away from supporting operational costs towards capacity-building measures, and ii. the Commission makes interventions consistently results-based, reduces delays in contracting and retroactive financing, improves monitoring and makes coherent use of financing instruments.
INDLEDNING APSA 1. 
INTRODUCTION The APSA 1.
Den afrikanske freds-og sikkerhedsarkitektur (APSA) er et sžt institutioner, retsakter og procedurer, som er beregnet til at forebygge konflikter og fremme fred og sikkerhed p det afrikanske kontinent. 
The African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) is a set of institutions, legislation and procedures designed to address conflict prevention and promote peace and security on the African continent.
Akten om oprettelse af Den Afrikanske Union1 fastlžgger retsgrundlaget for APSA. 
The Constitutive Act of the African Union1 lays down the legal basis for the APSA.
Protokollen vedrżrende etablering af Den Afrikanske Unions Freds-og Sikkerhedsrd, vedtaget af AU-medlemsstaterne i 2002, definerer dets struktur, ml og principper. 
The Protocol Relating to the Establishment of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, adopted by the AU member states in 2002, defines its structure, objectives and principles.
10 afrikanske subregionale organisationer (SRO'er), som de respektive medlemsstater gav mandat til at handle p omrdet fred og sikkerhed, spiller ogs en rolle i APSA. 
Ten African sub-regional organisations (SROs), to which their respective member states conferred a mandate to act in the area of peace and security, also play a role in the APSA.
Otte er regionale żkonomiske fžllesskaber (REC'er), og to er regionale mekanismer til konfliktforebyggelse, -styring og -lżsning (RM'er)2. 
Eight are Regional Economic Communities (RECs), and two are Regional Mechanisms for conflict prevention, management and resolution (RMs)2.
Samarbejdet mellem disse organisationer og AU inden for APSA er underlagt principperne om subsidiaritet og komplementaritet3. 
Cooperation between these organisations and the AU under the APSA are subject to the principles of subsidiarity and complementarity3.
Kernen i APSA er Freds-og Sikkerhedsrdet, der er oprettet af AU's medlemsstater som et stende beslutningsorgan for konfliktforebyggelse, -hndtering og -lżsning. 
At the centre of the APSA is the Peace and Security Council, established by the AU member states as a Ňstanding decision-making organ for the prevention, management and resolution of conflictsÓ.
Det stżttes af Den Afrikanske Unions Kommission, et "Panel of the Wise", et kontinentalt system for tidlig varsling, en afrikansk beredskabsstyrke og en fredsfond4 (figur 1). AU blev oprettet i 2000 som efterfżlger til Organisationen for Afrikansk Enhed. 
It is supported by the African Union Commission, a Panel of the The AU was created in 2000 as the successor to the Organisation for African Union.
I 2017 var alle 55 afrikanske lande medlemmer af Den Afrikanske Union. 
In 2017, all 55 African countries were members of the African Union.

APSA's forml er at skabe rammer og vžrktżjer, som gżr det muligt for AU og SRO'erne at spille en aktiv rolle med hensyn til at forebygge og lżse konflikter i Afrika, som kan have forskellige rsager (tekstboks 1). 
The APSA aims to provide the framework and tools for the AU and SROs to play an active role in preventing and resolving conflicts in Africa, which have different causes (Box 1).
Tekstboks 1 - rsager til konflikter Ifżlge Institut for Sikkerhedsstudier er svage stater den primžre kilde til usikkerhed i Afrika5. 
6 Box 1 - The causes of conflicts According to the Institute of Security Studies, state weakness is the principal source of insecurity in Africa5.
Svage stater fżrer ogs til svagheder i de regionale sikkerhedsmekanismer. 
State weakness also leads to weaknesses in regional security mechanisms.
P den baggrund forrsages de enkelte konflikter af en kompleks blanding af faktorer, men der er identificeret tre vigtige udlżsende faktorer: regeringsskifter, mellemstatslige stridigheder og voldelige ekstremistiske bevžgelser. 
Against that backdrop, individual conflicts are caused by a complex mix of factors, but three main triggers have been identified: government transitions, inter-state contestation, and violent extremist movements.
Stridigheder i forbindelse med regeringsskifter er en vigtig rsag til konflikter. 
Contested government transitions are a major source of conflict.
Der er store żkonomiske fordele ved at have et offentligt embede, og regeringssystemerne er ofte svage. 
There are huge financial benefits to holding elected office, and governance systems are often weak.
Dette giver et stort incitament til at bruge vold for at sikre en valgsejr. 
This presents a great incentive to use violence to secure election.
Volden i forbindelse med valg er steget de seneste r. 
Violence associated with elections has increased in recent years.
I Afrika er fjendtlighed mellem stater (mellemstatslige stridigheder) almindelig. 
In Africa, antagonism between states (inter-state contestation) is common.
