POST-EVENT GUIDE • 30-31 MAY 2018 • NAIROBI, KENYA

ADDRESSING AFRICA'S UNIQUE SECURITY CHALLENGES FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS

The Verint Comprehensive Intelligence Suite

FOREWORD Welcome to the Africa Security Symposium East & Sub-Saharan 2018 Post-Event Report where, GRV Global would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who participated in this important event; an East & West African series promoting sustainable peace and security across Africa through public-private partnerships (PPPs) and advanced technologies/solutions. Following a very enjoyable and productive week at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi, this report contains a detailed overview of the various workshops and plenary sessions, solutions exhibition, afternoon matchmaking meetings, and networking functions including a large selection of photographs from the symposia.

GRV Global would like to pass on our sincere gratitude to the various Government, U.S., International and United Nations agency officials that joined our themed plenary sessions across the two days, and were committed to meeting with event delegates throughout our afternoon matchmaking meeting sessions. We are extremely grateful for their kind time and support not only during the week of ASEC18 but also, for their assistance during the build up to the event. GRV Global would like to express special thanks to Major General Arnold Fields, U.S. Marine Corps (RET), Chairman of the NAPA Standing Panel on International Affairs at the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), who for the third time, so expertly fulfilled the role of Conference Chair across the few days, adding great depth and value to discussions.

In its third year, the Africa Security Symposium has been heralded as a significant success by both the participating officials and private-sector delegates alike; testimonials of which can be found later in this report. We welcomed almost 250 local and international participants to Nairobi and facilitated over 700 face-to-face matchmaking meetings. Many security factors and challenges regarding lasting peace and development were discussed and some extremely valuable experiences were shared. As a result of this event, and GRV Global’s ethos of personable engagement, long-standing collaborations are sure to result and ultimately, a stronger base on which to build sustainable peace and security through PPPs.

GRV Global would like to thank the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi and its professional & helpful staff for its support. We thank all our local partners for helping us to produce world-class materials such as the stage set, banners, all invitations and tickets, and of course the Official Event Guide; in addition to the local students who assisted with managing our registration desk and matchmaking meeting tables. Lastly and by no means least, GRV Global would truly like to thank our Event Sponsors for their support and attendance without which, events of this magnitude and importance would simply not be possible. The support shown by our partners and sponsors was emphatic and a true testament to the potential they see for peace and security across the African continent.

FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS

SAVING LIVES

CONFERENCE CHAIR’S STATEMENT THE AFRICA SECURITY SYMPOSIUM—EAST AND SUB-SAHARAN was designed to help advance Africa’s security by shoring up its capacity to address a multitude of diverse challenges. With the help of a distinguished assembly of enthusiastic and committed leaders and practitioners from government and non-government organizations, industry, academia and more, the Symposium accomplished its principal objective.

It is no mystery that Africa’s challenges are too great for any single symposium, group or institution to resolve; but collective approaches to problem resolution give progress a much better opportunity than unilateral initiatives. The first step in all such matters is to begin the dialogue and to let it lead to collaboration, cooperation, and potential partnership. Leaders at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of regional and national security must be involved in a dynamic process that engenders as much bottom up influence as top down.

Now that I have been privileged to chair three consecutive Africa Security Symposia superbly hosted by GRV Global, I am beginning to see positive signs of progress. First and foremost, leaders are talking to each other; enthusiasm is growing, together with increased optimism. More senior government leaders are increasingly finding the time to participate in the symposia; and on this occasion, at least seven active or retired military generals or admirals attended and actively contributed. While some attendees are repeat participants, new faces are showing up as well; and with new participants come new ideas and solutions on how to tactical the issues.

A multitude of considerations and recommendations emerged from the six dynamic panels. I offer a few of them I consider most significant: • Be cognizant of the human factor in delivering humanitarian assistance during peacekeeping operations, especially collateral damage that results in the suffering of innocent women and children.

• Adhere to the Rule of Law and maximize training opportunities to ensure that the mission, the conflict—the social science of it-- and the rules of engagement are fully understood • Adapt research, tactics, techniques and procedures that will maintain the advantage of peacekeeping operations and increase the risk of a dynamic adversary • Create synergy by sharing information and combining resources as needed to minimize the adversary’s capabilities and to encourage regional integration • Develop plans that are comprehensive, properly resourced and rehearsed • Develop an appreciation for cyber in modern conflict and realize that cyber is a borderless phenomenon and can be a strategic weapon • Ensure that existing policies are enforced, and new policies developed and implemented commensurate with an increasingly dynamic conflict environment • Behave in a manner that encourages and reinforces trust among individuals and nations Security requires national, international, regional and local strategies executed in an atmosphere of collaboration, cooperation and partnership. “No one is safe until everyone is safe”, said participant and panelist Dr. Zabulon Yoti, Technical Coordinator, Health Emergencies, World Health Organization.

ASEC18: DAY 1

POST-EVENT REPORT The Africa Security Symposium East & Sub-Saharan (ASEC18), the fourth in GRV Global’s series for the continent, took place once again, in Kenya’s beautiful capital city Nairobi, on 30th – 31st May 2018. Almost 250 leading security experts and government officials were welcomed to the Radisson Blu Hotel, to meet face-to-face and take part in an active two days of high-level plenary sessions, afternoon matchmaking meetings between public and private sector entities, and a range of networking functions, seeking to achieve the common goal of promoting long-term development and stability across the region.

EVENING RECEPTION

At pre-registration, setup was underway in the Mount Kilimanjaro Ballroom as sponsors prepared their exhibition booths, before all attendees were able to enjoy an informal ‘ice-breaker’ Evening Reception. Participants were able to register and collect their access passes before enjoying a relaxed evening of networking, accompanied by canapes and

refreshments overlooking the hotel grounds; an ideal opportunity for early introductions and discussion ahead of the main event.

DAY 1 WEDNESDAY 30TH MAY 2018

The morning of the Africa Security Symposium East & Sub-Saharan (ASEC18) began with a beautiful sunny day, as delegates enjoyed tea, coffee and pastries ahead of GRV Global’s CEO, Andrew Dowell formally welcoming the entire delegation of Honourable ministers, government & UN officials, experts and private sector specialists to Nairobi, Kenya. Commencing the Opening Ceremony, Mr. Dowell introduced the problem in which all gathered intended to face - the growing threat of terrorism by the likes of Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda in the Sahel, Al-Shabaab and ISIS in Northern and Southern Africa. Andrew reiterated that in order to curb transnational terrorism, a collective response was needed, as he encouraged the country representatives to engage with the private sector, enhance their capacity through the highest-level technologies and expertise, and

form partnerships amongst the distinguished guests. Andrew then handed over to friend and Symposium Chair, whom he affectionately named ‘The Singing General’, Major General Arnold Fields, USMC (RET), Chairman of the NAPA Standing Panel on International Affairs at the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA). All attendees were embraced by a warm welcome as Maj. Gen. Fields remarked on his excitement at hosting the Africa Security Symposium for the 3rd time before encouraging all delegates to take advantage of the opportunity to learn new things and form partnerships to achieve peace for Africa.

ASEC18 commenced with the first of 3 themed panels for the day. Panel One: Border Control & Maritime Security discussed effectiveness & monitoring, delimitation, coastal security, and migration challenges. This panel was Chaired by BG (ret) Dan Bader, Chief Operating Officer of ELTA North America whom was joined by ACP Dinah Kyasiimire, Head of Police Component of the EASF Secretariat,

Dinah opened the discussion on border control by first noting the challenges presented by porous borders: free movement of terrorists, illegal arms trade and human trafficking to name a few, and contended in order to resolve these issues it was necessary to forge greater cooperation and collaboration within the East African region, two words that remained prominent throughout the Symposium’s discussions. She went on to further emphasise the importance of technology in stating that “we cannot fight crime without surveillance and intelligence”. This notion was expanded upon by Cdr Tuemay whom listed drug trafficking, illegal fishing and piracy among the challenges that Somalia faces, which could potentially be resolved through transnational intelligence sharing. Deepening the discussion further, Dr. Sonkor remarked that “security cannot only be viewed as a national interest but one of regional interest” suggesting a holistic approach to assuring securer border, starting with greater government leadership in stabilising the region. Touching on the humanitarian effects of unsecure borders, was Sambujang, whom mentioned the food and nonfood items that UNMISS provided to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the community policing that takes place to ascertain the

human rights situation in South Sudan, and support the peace initiative and accompanying 2406 Resolution. It was clear from this panel discussion that unsecure borders presented a multitude of security risks to the region which can be potentially addressed through a collective, regional effort. Later in the session, BG Bader addressed the statements on a need for greater collaboration, by asking the panellists how their institutions are working together to solve collective problems – to which Dinah highlighted that most of the counties in the lakes region are members of the EASF Secretariat, and possess an intelligence system that allows for the sharing of information and intelligence of possible threats and challenges.

Moving towards the first of the days Q&A sessions, Lt. Col. Michael Diers from UN DPKO’s Office of Military Affairs (OMA), posed the question to the panel - how they might best go about handling seasonal migration in the region? Dinah, once again volunteered a response, first stating that this remains a challenging area since “in Africa it is unheard of to close the door on someone that is seeking

help” however, noted it is necessary to ensure that countries are quick to resolve conflicts, exhaust their own capacity before reaching out to international entities, and ensure that the people crossing the borders are in genuine need of refuge and not harbouring ill intentions.

At the end of the ASEC18’s opening discussion panel, delegates were treated to a selection of pastries together with tea and coffee, before returning to a special Keynote Welcoming Address by Dr. Katherine W. Getao, EBS, the ICT Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology of the Government of Kenya. In her statement, Dr. Getao, congratulated GRV Global and partners for gathering a distinguished convocation of delegates from the defence, security and intelligence sectors, to examine and discuss the latest technology solutions for keeping people safe in Kenya, the region and ultimately the world. She noted that the conference had recognized the convergence of traditional security sectors in a world where security challenges are becoming increasingly complex:

Well thought through, excellently selected topics that are timely to the region, a nearly perfectly organised and managed symposium. Highly experienced panellists and moderators! Thank you all!”

ideologically, technologically and in terms of the diversity of stakeholders involved in designing and implementing security solutions. She also noted that security goes beyond the absence of threats or a false feeling of safety towards a good quality of life which is adequately protected from physical and cyber-threats. Dr. Getao commended delegates for the role they have played in supporting countries, such as Kenya, which have experienced an enhanced security environment despite facing very real and dangerous threats, noting that it was through collaboration and the support of the security sector that these threats had been successfully mitigated. She noted that all of the issues on the agenda of the conference such as critical infrastructure protection, cyber intelligence and border protection technology were very pertinent to the concerns of the Kenyan Government and she wished delegates a fruitful meeting.

After Dr. Gateo’s kind and informative words came Panel Two: Technology - Advancements in Security Capabilities which discussed trends and implications, intelligence collection, cybersecurity & data, systems vulnerabilities, smart technologies & surveillance, regulations, and health security Chaired by Paul Wells, Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer of GovSat. Paul was joined by Christo Myburgh,

Chief Regional Security Officer - East Africa of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), Dr. Zabulon Yoti , Technical Coordinator - Health Emergencies of the World Health Organization (WHO), Jalal Abdel-Latif, Head - Governance & Human Security Cluster of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), and Raymond Kitevu, Conflict Early Warning Expert of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Secretariat. Jalal began the discussion with the inarguable statement that “the digital revolution has had a profound impact on the security sector”, as satellite communications have developed and data collection has gotten easier. However, he went on to further note that the challenge now is how to best to utilise the data and technology remains, prompting the suggestion from Raymond for there to be an increase in training programmes so that we can “adapt our research to keep up with a dynamic terrorist environment”. Both Christo and Dr. Zabulon considered the advantage of greater community engagement in unlocking technological capabilities, particularly in addressing issues of conflict and health practices. Christo stated that technology remains an enabler as opposed to an end in itself, that can engage communities and aid security operations but first we must understand the root issues by which conflict stems, concluding that there is

BG Simon West – UN Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) “Very well organised, good speakers and attendees.”

a need for a more comprehensive approach to assessing the key drivers of conflict to ensure a safe environment for all, as “no one is safe until everyone is safe”. Dr. Zabulon noted the efficacy of training communities in sophisticated technology in addressing medical crisis, drawing on the 2014 Ebola crisis as an example of how technology can be used to reduce panic and better speed up the process to recovery, through the training of local people who can collect samples in a timelier manner and improve diagnostics and vaccinations. During the panel’s Q&A session, Raymond was asked to comment on the ways COMESA shares information regionally, to which he referenced the many regional events and East African committees that COMESA engage in, and their collaboration with the African Union to present existing information and possible preventative measures to take in the future.

The last panel of the day, and part 1 of an essential discussion on peacekeeping across the two days, beforeGRV Global’s much anticipated afternoon 1-2-1 meetings was, Panel 3: Peace Support Operations (PSOs) & Capacity Building discussing the PSO spectrum including land, air & sea, strengthening local assets, training & diversity, testing methods, regional collaborations, reliable systems & mitigating risk. Chaired by Amnon Sofrin, Marketing

Director- Africa of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), he was joined by Brig. Gen. Simon West, Senior Military Advisor - Defence Section of the Rule of Law and Security Institutions Group (ROLSIG) at UN Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), Moussa Idi, PSSM Expert of the UN Regional Centre for Peace & Disarmament in Africa (UNREC), Aderemi Adekoya, Principal Coordination Officer of theAfrican UnionUnited Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID), and Brig. Albert Kendagor, Head of Peace Operations at the EASF Secretariat. Brig.

Gen. Simon, opened the panel by addressing the need for greater attention to be placed on outcomes of capacity building – using Malawi as an example of a poor country with a military that is struggling to deter terrorism and therefore, training should focus on the long term and be bespoke to the country requiring support with a holistic approach that not only focuses on the conflicts, but incorporates other dynamics needed to achieve the aim. Aderemi noted the difficulty in conflict resolution due to the growing resource gap – using Darfur as an example of an area that lacks road networks, which hinders logistical operations due to the lack of road access. Brig.

Albert gave a brief overview of the EASF’s role pertaining to peacekeeping within the region, remarking that they’re placed to be enablers rather than solutions to the many problems

within the region - to allow formal leadership procedures of nations to form uninterrupted, as they proactively collaborate with other regional organisations whom have common interests in border control, conflict resolution and terrorism. In agreeance, Moussa noted that it is important to strengthen the joint efforts of all United Nations entities in the field, in order to strengthen measures to prevent the resurgence of armed conflict, including peacekeeping missions, country teams and international organizations. In the Q&A session, Simon responded to a question on whether it was possible to affect a cultural change in leadership, remarking that behavioural change was possible through the design in training in order to achieve the wanted outcomes on the ground. Conference Chair Maj. Gen. Fields summarised the morning discussions in stating the importance of having a clear mission and working together, before urging all ASEC18 participants to make a prompt return from lunch for the much-anticipated meetings.

Delegates returned from a delightful lunch to a transformed Mount Kilimanjaro Ballroom.

In the weeks leading up to the Symposium,

delegates were able to identify their preferred 1-2-1 Matchmaking Meetings through GRV Global’s secure scheduling website. Preevent, meeting schedules are finalised and confirmed for all participants in order to maximise potential outcomes; a personable format of 15-minute matchmaking meetings.

Wednesday afternoon featured hundreds of 1-2-1 meetings with many organisations taking back-to-back meetings throughout the 3-hour session. Participants were quick to identify their potential value and praised their efficiency.

Whilst in Nairobi, some for the very first time, GRV Global wanted to ensure participants experienced some of the rich culture Kenya has to offer and hence, invited participants to a Cultural Dinner at the Tamambo Karen Blixen Coffee Garden, in the famous Karen Blixen area. Guests were welcomed by the rhythmic sounds of beating drums and singing, before dining alfresco, with new acquaintances as they reflected on the day’s talking points and continued the discussions they had already started during the afternoon meeting sessions. n

ASEC18: DAY 2

POST-EVENT REPORT DAY 2 THURSDAY 31ST MAY 2018

Day two of 2018’s Africa Security Symposium East & Sub-Saharan (ASEC18) began with opening remarks from Conference Chair, Maj. Gen. Arnold Fields USMC (RET) whom gave a brief recap of the panel session discussions from Wednesday, highlighting: the need for there to be greater understanding of the nature of terror threats, the advantage of collaborating and cooperating, particularly with resources and avoid a duplication of efforts, and providing training in order to do what we can with what we have. This set the tone for a unique session on the United Nations Procurement process provided by Senior Procurement Assistant, Nelly Munovi from the UN Office in Nairobi (UNON).

Nelly gave delegates an overview of a common tender process and tips to improve their chances of approval, including: how to register and express an interest, completing a proposal and the evaluation process making sure to note the common mistakes that can cause a proposal to be rejected,

including failing to submit applications before the deadline, or not separating the technical proposal from the financial. This proved to be an enlightening addition to the conference as Maj. Gen. Fields urged the delegation to take advantage of such a rare and immediate opportunity.

Day two’s discussions started with a topic that has increased in significant importance given the current global security climate. Panel 4: Cyber Intelligence in the

Building on this point and providing a clearer understanding of the relationship between cyberspace and terrorism in Africa, Alice stated “terrorists have tactical, operational and strategic uses for cyber space”, before identifying the key uses of cybertechnology by terrorist groups: to spread their ideology and recruit, to use the ‘Dark Web’ to buy resources, plan and finance operations, where they can do so in a covert manner and to terrorise civilians and undermine the legitimacy of governments, and claiming attacks to spread anxiety of their capacity online. Looking to the future, Alice suggested that as connectivity increases and extends to rural areas, there is potential for an increase in recruitment. This point was demonstrated by Brig. Gen. Abdalla whom pointed out that Al-Shabaab were able to use cyber intelligence as a form of mass propaganda through radios and social media to target the Somali youth diaspora, however noting the improvements the Somalian government have made in addressing this issue by implementing the Communications Act last year in order to create a framework for tackling cybercrime. As the discussion progressed, Lt. Col. Diers referenced some of the issues raised in Wednesday’s sessions in noting that despite a large volume of data collected by the United Nations, the lack of georeferences creates a challenge in influencing decision makers – at times,

Michael Diers, Deputy Chief Assessment Team of UN DPKO’s Office of Military Affairs (OMA), and Sosthenes M. Makuri, Regional Specialized Officer of INTERPOL’s Regional Bureau for Eastern Africa. Hon. Adolf Mwesige drew on Uganda’s experience with internal threats from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and transnational threats from Al-Shabaab, to exemplify the ways in which “terror groups have taken advantage of borderless cyberspace”, particularly through their use of social media to further their agenda. In response to how this issue can be addressed, he remarked that greater investment in cyber intelligence would assist the situation however, it is fundamental to have a transnational dialogue to effectively address threats and learn from one another.

information can be slow to be declassified, which provided a frank and honest account of some of the ways the United Nations could improve their practices to foster a “culture of information sharing”. Providing a glimpse of what this knowledge could look like in practice was Sosthenes of INTERPOL, where knowledge share is a pillar of the organisation. Sosthenes referenced the well-known red notices used to track down wanted persons and fugitives that are issued to 1 country, but is also made known to all 192 member countries so they remain aware of the situation. Although Sosthenes did remark that there remains some limitations in extended information to other law enforcement agencies, which provided the audience with an example of the pragmatism that a centralised system provides. Continuing the theme of open dialogue, in this Q&A session, Brig. Gen. Bulti Tadesse Kittila from African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) asked the Honourable Minister his thoughts on mediation in terrorism. Hon. Adolf Mwesige responded that in Uganda, they try and distinguish between the leaders of terrorist groups and the followers, and their level of responsibility, before mentioning the importance of amnesty laws to protect those that have been misled and can renounce terrorism and reintegrate back into society, emphasising that “this does not mean we have abandoned the fight but extended a hand of forgiveness”. Maj. Gen.

Fields summarised the session by remarking it is important for policies to keep up with advancements in cybertechnology, using the U.S. as an example of a nation where freedoms, such as free speech are being exploited to the terrorists’ advantage and without prosecution.

Moving swiftly on, following a brief Networking Tea & Coffee Break, the penultimate panel session of the symposium; Panel 5: Logistics, Supplies & Communications discussed route clearance, coordination, improved efficiency, resilience & infrastructure, risk assessment, and supply chain security. This panel was Chaired by Travis Heneveld, Director - United Nations & International Accounts of Motorola Solutions whom was joined by Mark Connelly, Chief of Peace Keeping Support of the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS), Koos Joubert, Technical Advisor of DCD Protected Mobility, James

Nyirenda, Regional Security Consultant of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), and Lt. Gen. Johnson Okot Jekery Loyang, Deputy CDF for Administration & Finance of South Sudan’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF).

Travis began the session by presenting the question of “how do you measure success?” to the panellists. Koos began the discussion by stating that DCD measured success by the lives they saved, further elaborating that in the current aggressive and threatening climate their Husky vehicles had received 7500 hits in 9 years, therefore a safe transfer to their destination is always considered a success. Mark agreed that the safety of lives is always the first priority however, went on to further state that success can also be measured by the ability to satisfy the many stakeholders that may be involved in a project and thus “success is achieving what you had intended to do” – using the example of a newly de-mined area where communities can return to their homes and re-establish their lives. Conversely, Lt. Gen. Johnson looked at the financial practicality in achieving the aims of a mission - emphasising that success can be difficult to achieve due to the changing nature of demands, whereby the initial anticipated costs are unable to meet the shifting needs. Thus being unable to achieve their mission’s original objectives

Lt. Gen. Johnson Okot Jekery Loyang, South Sudan Chief of Defence Forces (CDF)

and therefore, emphasising the importance and need for there to be greater adaptability.

This neatly led to Travis’ second question on how to approach and manage financial risk.

James from the AfDB led the response by taking the audience through the process by which the Bank funds projects, noting the step-by-step procedure to ensure that at each stage, the money is used to achieve what it had been allocated for, as well as their central system that allows projects to be monitored - issues are detected and addressed earlier.

Travis followed up with a final question on supply-chain security and asked the panellists whether they had found a balance between using government grade security options vs enterprise security options. Koos replied that from a product design point of view, it is easier to use off the shelf components, since it is easier for their consumers to purchase spare parts etc. It was wholly agreed that the panel was a success in achieving a comprehensive discussion on logistics and supply, with a minute to spare!

The final session of 2018’s Africa Security Symposium East & Sub-Saharan (ASEC18) and part 2 of the discussion on peacekeeping was Panel 6: Peace Support Operations (PSOs) & Capacity Building, discussing the PSO spectrum including

land, air & sea, strengthening local assets, training & diversity, testing methods, regional collaborations, reliable systems & mitigating risk, humanitarian operations, and effective response - building smarter, streamlined institutions for greater stability and development within the region. Chaired once again by BG (ret.) Amnon Sofrin, Marketing Director- Africa of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), he was joined by Brig. Gen. Bulti Tadesse Kittila, Chief of Staff, AU Peace Support Operations Division (PSOD) at the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), Peter Wood, Global Security Adviser of Oxfam, Moses Gatino Githinji, Regional Security Director of World Vision International (WVI), and Brig. Gen. Abdihakim Sa’eed, Former Police Commissioner of the Somali National Police Force.

Amnon started the session with a question for Brig. Gen. Bulti Tadesse on what AMISOM is trying to achieve in the Somali region; to which he responded that the mandate is to reduce the threat of Al-Shabaab by denying their freedom of movement and consequently reduce the number of casualties. However, this has not been without challenges due to poor infrastructure and access to resources.

In addition to this, Peter provided a brief description of Oxfam’s approach in assisting

and protecting civilians in Somaliland, which included asking the people in the conflict zone what they would want from the organisation - responding to help them help themselves and reclaim the communities that they had lost. Looking to the future, Amnon asked the anticipated question, of how long the panellists’ felt there will have to be a presence in Somalia? Brig. Gen. Bulti Tadesse highlighted the importance of this question but also the challenges posed in addressing it - there are many components to consider, including to whom the power will be transferred to, before further elaborating that it was evident “handing over power provided the opportunity to test capability, however there remained the risk of Somalia being overstretched as Al-Shabaab continue to hold power over key areas”. Concluding that the operation still requires training and further resources before withdrawal.

As the discussion progressed, Moses first commended the efforts of AMISOM in dislodging Al-Shabaab from Mogadishu which has opened up humanitarian spaces to operate, before stating that “there is still a need to reduce the threat” – which has not as yet been achieved. An finally, alluding to Peter’s earlier comments, Brig.

Gen. Abdihakim believed training individuals so that they are able to combat threats

themselves in the long-term, particularly the youth, played a significant role in the potential of further withdrawals. Ending on a message of ‘hope’ was the perfect end to an informative two days of discussion before the second session of afternoon matchmaking meetings.

To bring 2018’s Symposium to a formal conclusion, ahead the final afternoon 1-2-1 meetings, Conference Chair Maj. Gen. Arnold Fields, thanked all distinguished guests for their efforts and participation in making this event a success, and taking the steps towards greater collaboration and a safer Africa. In the Closing Ceremony, borrowing a quote from Dr. Yoti that “no one is safe until everyone is safe”, Gen. Fields recited and treated the delegates to a singing rendition of ‘No Man is an Island’ by poet John Donne (particularly poignant words) before handing over to GRV Global’s CEO, Andrew Dowell.

Andrew expressed gratitude to the Kenyan Government for their consistent support, and heartfelt thanks to the event Sponsors whose contributions had made the event possible, and to the local supply partners and facilitators on a world-class setup. Finally, he gave the warmest of regards to Major General Arnold Fields for his stewardship of the Symposium, his enthusiasm and wisdom in presenting the topics covered at this significant event, and for the African security

sector. To round off, Andrew announced that the Honourable Ugandan Minister of Defence, Mr. Adolf Mwesige has sanctioned this Symposium to take place in Kampala, Uganda next May 2019, and duly invited all participants to the upcoming sister event, West Africa Security Symposium in Dakar, Senegal, this coming November 2018.

Although the Closing Ceremony had now been held, there was still an afternoon of public-private security sector matchmaking meetings to follow an outdoors Networking Lunch Break. Once again, GRV Global’s structured 1-2-1 meetings format was held in high regard. Almost 700 meetings had been held across the two days in Nairobi – surely making huge strides towards a more coherent and long-lasting effort towards a stable and prosperous Africa for its people.

Sadly, it was almost time for participants to say their goodbyes and prepare to head home however, there was a renewed hope that the region could achieve surer security and peace through collaborations. Not only had delegates been able to hear directly from the region’s leading security agencies and governments, but they had been able to meet them personally, discuss potential solutions and create lasting collaborations for the future… Until November for our West Africa Security Symposium in Dakar! n

The mission demands JLTV. Setting a new standard for light vehicle performance outside the wire.

The slope ahead looks nearly impossible to climb. There’s no time to plan another route. But your Oshkosh® JLTV was made for this mission.

Its powerful drivetrain and advanced suspension system will get you over this steep incline and through the rocky ravine on the other side. And it will keep you connected with a fully integrated C4ISR system. That’s when decades of TWV engineering and manufacturing experience behind the Oshkosh logo mean everything.

The Academy’s work is directed primarily by Congress or executive branch leadership who are seeking assistance with complex management problems that require the expertise and independence the Academy provides. Leveraging the expertise of their Fellowship, the Academy provides a full range of advisory services to federal departments and agencies with a particular focus on: organizational assessments/strategy development; implementation support and technical assistance; performance measurement systems; and stakeholder outreach/collaboration. The Standing Panel on International Affairs focuses on the National Academy’s role in the international community. It considers a broad range of issues, such as: assisting in the development of democratic institutions in transitional democracies throughout the world; addressing public management challenges in developing countries; examining the management of the U.S. government’s international activities; and promoting information sharing on promising practices in public management. www.napawash.org
