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. 
POVZETEK I. Države članice Afriške unije (AU) so leta 2002 ustanovile Afriško strukturo za mir in varnost (APSA) kot dolgoročni strukturni odziv na izzive na področju miru in varnosti na afriški celini.
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. 
V njenem okviru imajo Afriška unija in pooblaščene podregionalne organizacije dostop do orodij, ki jim pomagajo pri preprečevanju, upravljanju in reševanju konfliktov.
We assessed whether EU support was well designed and targeted, whether it contributed to sustainable results, and whether it was implemented well. 
Ocenilo je, ali je bila podpora EU dobro zasnovana in usmerjena, ali je prispevala k trajnostnim rezultatom in ali se je dobro izvajala.
We audited contracts whose total value exceeded Ű100 million, which were concluded by the Commission in the period from 2014 to 2016. 
Revidiralo je pogodbe v skupni vrednosti več kot 100 milijonov EUR, ki so bile sklenjene s Komisijo v obdobju 2014–2016.
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. 
Čeprav je bil uveden širok strateški okvir, je Sodišče ugotovilo, da je bila podpora EU za Afriško strukturo za mir in varnost dolgo osredotočena na prispevanje h kritju njenih osnovnih operativnih stroškov.
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. 
Ker je finančna odgovornost Afriške unije za Afriško strukturo za mir in varnost majhna, je ta že več let močno odvisna od podpore donatorjev.
EU has financially contributed to the APSA's components, but the quality of the capacities of these components varies considerably and several challenges remain. 
EU je finančno prispevala h komponentam Afriške strukture za mir in varnost, toda kakovost zmogljivosti teh komponent se zelo razlikuje, poleg tega pa številni izzivi še vedno obstajajo.
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. 
Sodišče je ugotovilo, da EU ni določila jasnih prioritet za podporo EU za Afriško strukturo za mir in varnost, njena strategija pa ni temeljila na dolgoročni viziji za razvoj podpore.
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. 
V revidiranem obdobju se EU ni dovolj osredotočala na prehod s financiranja plač k usmerjenosti v krepitev zmogljivosti, s čimer bi se zagotovila dolgoročna uspešnost podpore EU.
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. 
EU je podprla načrte Afriške unije za dosego finančne neodvisnosti, ki bi Uniji omogočila prevzem vse večjega deleža operativnih stroškov za Afriško strukturo za mir in varnost, toda izvajanje tega je bilo še v začetni fazi.
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. 
V. Sodišče je ugotovilo tudi, da je bila pri šestih od 14 revidiranih pogodb, ki so se nanašale predvsem na stroške zaposlenih, do revizije dosežena večina pričakovanih rezultatov.
Two had only partially and one had not delivered. 
Pri dveh so bili rezultati doseženi le delno, pri eni pa niso bili doseženi.
In five cases, implementation delays meant that we could not assess whether the contract had delivered or not. 
V petih primerih so zamude pri izvajanju pomenile, da Sodišče ni moglo oceniti, ali so bili rezultati pri pogodbi doseženi.
Furthermore, delays in contracting, retroactive financing, and a paucity of information on results achieved 2 
Poleg tega so zamude pri sklepanju pogodb, retroaktivno financiranje in skopost 2
3 hampered the delivery of the EUŐs support. 
3 informacij o doseženih rezultatih ovirali zagotavljanje podpore EU.
During the period audited, financing instruments were not always used coherently. 
V revidiranem obdobju se instrumenti financiranja niso vedno dosledno uporabljali.
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. 
Na podlagi opažanj v tem poročilu Sodišče priporoča, naj: i. Komisija in Evropska služba za zunanje delovanje spodbujata občutek lastništva Afriške unije do Afriške strukture za mir in varnost, da se doseže njena finančna neodvisnost in da se podpora EU preusmeri s podpiranja operativnih stroškov na ukrepe za krepitev zmogljivosti, ter ii.
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. 
Afriška struktura za mir in varnost (APSA) je sklop institucij, zakonodajnih aktov in postopkov, namenjenih preprečevanju konfliktov ter spodbujanju miru in varnosti na afriški celini.
The Constitutive Act of the African Union1 lays down the legal basis for the APSA. 
Pravna podlaga za Afriško strukturo za mir in varnost je določena v aktu o ustanovitvi Afriške unije1.
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. 
Njena sestava, cilji in načela pa so opredeljeni v protokolu o vzpostavitvi mirovnega in varnostnega sveta Afriške unije, ki so ga leta 2002 sprejele države članice Afriške unije.
2. 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. 
V središču Afriške strukture za mir in varnost je mirovni in varnostni svet, ki so ga ustanovile države članice Afriške unije kot stalni organ odločanja za preprečevanje, obvladovanje in reševanje konfliktov.
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. 
Afriška unija je bila ustanovljena leta 2000 kot naslednica Organizacije afriške unije.
In 2017, all 55 African countries were members of the African Union. 
Leta 2017 je bilo vseh 55 afriških držav včlanjenih v Afriško unijo.

3. 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). 
Namen Afriške strukture za mir in varnost je Afriški uniji in podregionalnim organizacijam zagotoviti okvir in orodja ter s tem dejavno vlogo pri preprečevanju in reševanju konfliktov v Afriki, ki imajo različne vzroke (okvir 1).
4 6 Box 1 - The causes of conflicts According to the Institute of Security Studies, state weakness is the principal source of insecurity in Africa5. 
Okvir 1 – Vzroki konfliktov Glede na izsledke inštituta za varnostne študije je glavni vir negotovosti v Afriki šibka država,5 ki je tudi razlog za slabosti v regionalnih varnostnih mehanizmih.
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. 
Glede na to posamezne konflikte povzroča kompleksna mešanica dejavnikov.
There are huge financial benefits to holding elected office, and governance systems are often weak. 
Z volitvami pridobljen mandat prinaša velike finančne koristi, sistemi upravljanja pa so pogosto šibki.
This presents a great incentive to use violence to secure election. 
To je močna spodbuda za uporabo nasilja za zagotovitev zmage na volitvah.
Violence associated with elections has increased in recent years. 
Nasilje, povezano z volitvami, se je v zadnjih letih povečalo.
Inter-state contestation. In Africa, antagonism between states (inter-state contestation) is common. 
Meddržavni konflikti: v Afriki so nasprotja med državami (meddržavni konflikti) pogosta.
Such antagonism often manifests itself in states supporting violence in adjacent countries in order to further their own political goals. 
Običajno se kažejo v državah, ki za dosego svojih političnih ciljev podpirajo nasilje v sosednjih državah.
This may take the form of clandestine cross-border military operations, or the covert or open provision of support to insurgents on the other side of the border. 
Nasilje ima obliko nezakonitih čezmejnih vojaških operacij ali pa tajnega ali odprtega zagotavljanja podpore upornikom na drugi strani meje.
Many conflicts conventionally regarded as ŇinternalÓ are actually triggered or sustained by foreign influence of this kind. 
Številne konflikte, ki se običajno štejejo kot „notranji”, dejansko sprožijo ali podpirajo tovrstni tuji vplivi.
Violent extremist movements cause a great deal of violent conflict in Africa. 
Nasilna ekstremistična gibanja povzročajo veliko nasilnih konfliktov v Afriki.
Once they gain a foothold, they tend to spread across borders: for example, violence by militants in Libya, Mali, north-eastern Nigeria, and Somalia has spread into neighbouring countries, with further attacks taking place in countries including Algeria, Burkina Faso, Kenya and Uganda6. 4. 
Ko se uveljavijo, se običajno razširijo preko meja: na primer, nasilje oboroženih oseb v Libiji, Maliju, severovzhodni Nigeriji in Somaliji se je razširilo v sosednje države, do nadaljnjih napadov pa prihaja tudi v državah, kot so Alžirija, Burkina Faso, Kenija in Uganda.6 4.
The AU and the SROs intervened under the APSA framework in 28 out of the 67 violent conflicts (42 %) occurring in Africa during 2016. 
V letu 2016 so Afriška unija in podregionalne organizacije v okviru Afriške strukture za mir in varnost posredovale v 28 od 67 nasilnih konfliktov (42 %) v Afriki.
The interventions took the form of diplomacy, mediation and peace-support operations, or a combination of the three. 
Posredovanja so potekala kot diplomatske dejavnosti, mediacija in mirovne operacije ali pa kot kombinacija vseh treh.
Evaluations of these 28 interventions indicated that 21 of them were at least partly successful in either preventing or de-escalating conflict7 (Box 2). 
Vrednotenja teh 28 posredovanj kažejo, da jih je bilo 21 vsaj delno uspešnih pri preprečevanju ali zmanjšanju konfliktov7 (okvir 2).

The AU member states created the African Peace Fund to raise finance for the AU peace support missions and peace and security operational activities8. Funding was to come mainly from the AU budget, with the possibility of further funding in the form of voluntary contributions from other sources. 
Države članice Afriške unije so ustanovile Mirovni sklad, da bi zbrale finančna sredstva za mirovne misije Afriške unije ter operativne dejavnosti za mir in varnost.8 Sredstva naj bi se zagotovila zlasti iz proračuna Afriške unije, z možnostjo dodatnega financiranja v obliki prostovoljnih prispevkov iz drugih virov.
However, fewer than half African states paid their contributions to the AU budget on time and in full9, resulting in a shortfall of 33 % over the 2011 to 2015 period10. 
Vendar pa je svoje prispevke v proračun Afriške unije pravočasno in v celoti plačala le manj kot polovica afriških držav9, kar je v obdobju 2011–2015 povzročilo primanjkljaj v višini 33 %10.
As a result, donors fund much of the AU budget11 (54 % in 201712). 
Zaradi tega velik del proračuna Afriške unije11 financirajo donatorji (54 % v letu 201712).
In addition, only a small proportion of the AU budget is paid into the African Peace Fund. 
Poleg tega se le majhen delež proračuna Afriške unije nakaže v Mirovni sklad Afriške unije.
The AU member states agreed to increase funding of the African Peace fund to 12 % of the AUŐs regular budget by 2014. 
Države članice Afriške unije so se dogovorile, da bodo do leta 2014 povečale financiranje Mirovnega sklada na 12 % rednega proračuna Afriške unije.
However, in 2016 the amount paid over corresponded to 7 % of the regular budget (i.e. less than Ű6 million)13. 
Vendar pa znesek, plačan v letu 2016, ustreza le 7 % rednega proračuna (tj. manj kot 6 milijonov EUR).13 7.

The EU identified peace and security on the African continent as one of its priorities and defined the core principles of its approach in 199615. It has reiterated these principles and its own interest in focusing on peace and security on the African continent in several high-level conflict prevention and security strategies16, most recently in the 2016 EU Global Strategy17. 
EU je leta 1996 opredelila mir in varnost na afriški celini kot eno od svojih prioritet ter določila temeljna načela za svoj pristop.15 Ta načela in tudi svoj interes za osredotočenje na mir in varnost na afriški celini je ponovila v več strategijah na visoki ravni za preprečevanje konfliktov in varnost16, nazadnje v globalni strategiji EU iz leta 201617.
In 2007, the AU and the EU launched the Joint Africa EU Strategy (JAES) as a framework for cooperation and policy dialogue, and highlighted the importance of peace and security to both unions. 
Leta 2007 sta Afriška unija in EU uvedli skupno strategijo Afrika-EU kot okvir za sodelovanje in politični dialog ter poudarili pomen miru in varnosti za obe uniji.
The EU provides its financial support for the development of the APSA through the European Development Fund (EDF)18. 
EU zagotavlja finančno podporo za razvoj Afriške strukture za mir in varnost v okviru Evropskega razvojnega sklada (ERS)18.
The main channel of EDF support comes through the Strategic security issues include the illegal flow of small arms and light weapons; counter-improvised explosive device/explosives management; weapons of mass destruction disarmament and non-proliferation; counter-terrorism measures; illicit financial flows; the integration of AfricaŐs Integrated Maritime Strategy into APSA; and the combat of transnational organised crime and cyber-crime. 
Podpora Evropskega razvojnega sklada se zagotavlja Strateška varnostna vprašanja zajemajo nezakonit pritok osebnega in lahkega orožja; sredstva za uničevanje improviziranih eksplozivnih naprav / upravljanje eksplozivov; razorožitev in neširjenje orožja za množično uničevanje; ukrepe za boj proti terorizmu; nezakonite finančne tokove; vključitev afriške celostne pomorske strategije v Afriško strukturo za mir in varnost ter boj proti nadnacionalnemu organiziranemu kriminalu in kibernetskemu kriminalu.
EU and the Issue of Conflicts in Africa: Peace Building Conflict Prevention and Beyond (SEC/96/32) sets out the basic approach towards the conflicts in Africa (importance of political analysis of structural root causes, focus on structural stability), the list of measures EU could undertake in various conflict situations, and the approach for the future (conflict prevention, early warning system, cooperation with AU and regional organisations as well as the UN, enhancement of African peace-keeping capabilities). 
V dokumentu EU and the Issue of Conflicts in Africa: Peace Building Conflict Prevention and Beyond (SEC/96/32) so opredeljeni osnovni pristop h konfliktom v Afriki (pomembnost politične analize strukturnih temeljnih vzrokov, osredotočenje na strukturno stabilnost), seznam ukrepov, ki bi jih EU lahko sprejela v različnih konfliktnih situacijah, ter pristop za prihodnost (preprečevanje konfliktov, sistem zgodnjega opozarjanja, sodelovanje z Afriško unijo in regionalnimi organizacijami ter z ZN, krepitev afriških mirovnih zmogljivosti).
