Vision

The ASSN envisages continental and regional security communities with the ability to use the available resources and pool of knowledge existent in Africa and elsewhere, in order to achieve well governed national security sectors and more effective collective peace and security arrangements. By sharing its accumulated knowledge and lessons learned, the ASSN will create a framework that enables capacity building (which is often missing on the continent) to promote dialogue across a diversity of actors and issues pertaining to the reform/ transformation and governance of security sector and to stimulate informed debate towards the positive influencing of policy and decision-makers.
