FOREWORD

W

elcome to the Africa Security Technology Symposium Post-Event Report where GRV Global would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who participated in the inaugural holding of this important annual event; a series promoting sustainable peace and security across Africa through public-private partnerships (PPPs) and advanced technologies. Following a very enjoyable and productive week at the AUC Conference Centre in Ethiopia, this report contains a detailed overview of the various workshops and plenary sessions, technology 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 gave formal presentations 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 ASTS 2016 in Addis Ababa but also, for their assistance during the build up to the event. GRV Global would like to express special thanks to the African Union Commission (AUC) for their unwavering assistance with helping to organise the Africa Security Technology Symposium and also, 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 so expertly fulfilled the role of Conference Chair across the few days.

Of its first holding, the Africa Security Technology 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 over 250 local and international participants to Addis Ababa and facilitated over 500 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 AUC Conference Centre 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.

Thank you for joining us in Ethiopia, we look forward to welcoming you next year!

AFRICA SECURITY TECHNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM 2016 POST-EVENT REPORT In its first annual holding, the Africa Security Technology Symposium, held at the African Union Commission (AUC) Conference Centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was billed as a huge success; bringing together hundreds of peace and security experts, from across the globe, for two days of direct engagement, through high-level plenary sessions, social networking functions, a technology exhibition, and afternoon matchmaking meetings between public and private sector entities.

In Organisation with the African Union Commission’s Peace & Security Department and with support from the Federal Republic of Ethiopia’s Ministry of Federal Affairs and Federal Police Force, the Africa Security Technology Symposium welcomed leading local, regional and global operators from across the security sector to hear from and meet with senior African Government officials, UN, U.S., EU and international agency, NGO, trade and chamber stakeholders, all focussed on furthering the continents efforts to promote sustainable peace and security through public-private partnerships (PPPs) utilising advanced technologies.

Evening Reception

Whilst setup was underway at the AUC Conference Centre, the Africa Security Technology Symposium commenced with an informal ‘ice-breaker’ Evening Reception at the Hilton Addis Ababa.

Participants were able to register, collect their access passes and delegate packs whilst enjoying a relaxed evening of networking accompanied by canapés and refreshments; an ideal opportunity for early introductions and discussion around the major talking points ahead.

Day One: Wednesday 5th October

On arrival at the AUC Conference Centre, Sponsors were asked to setup their exhibition booths within the outdoor technology marquee whilst delegates networked and enjoyed morning tea and coffee. The event’s opening morning of high-level, themed plenary sessions begin with welcoming remarks from GRV Global’s CEO, Andy Dowell. Mr. Dowell took a moment to welcome our esteemed audience to Ethiopia’s wonderful capital city, Addis Ababa and offered sincere thanks to H.E. Ambassador Smail Chegui, Commissioner of Peace & Security, and his team for their unwavering support during the build-up to this important symposia. Whilst outlining some of the key areas to be addressed, Mr. Dowell also gave thanks to the event’s valuable sponsors and to the officials that had kindly committed their time and support to the two days ahead. With great delight, 4

on offer within the exhibition marquee.

The event would now move to the AUC’s Multipurpose Hall with the format changing considerably to Matchmaking Meetings. Pre-event, delegates had been able to select their preferred one-to-one meetings with the event’s delegation of VIP speakers and officials. Through 15 minute, roundtable meetings, delegates were able to move around the room, following their own personalised schedule, introducing themselves to officials personally whilst looking to establish relationships that would essentially go on to aid the continent’s efforts for lasting stability and development.

In all, the event’s first day would see more than 300 private meetings take place and participants were quick to identify the format’s value and praised their efficiency.

Whilst visiting Addis Ababa, many for the first time, GRV Global wanted to ensure participants experienced the Ethiopian culture. All participants were invited to enjoy a Cultural Dinner at the Hilton Hotel’s Haraar Grill which would feature the Dawit Band. In a relaxed, casual setting, event participants enjoyed an evening of fine cuisine and refreshments whilst being thoroughly entertained with an amazing performance of traditional Ethiopian dance and music. It proved to be an ideal opportunity for all to reflect on the day’s talking points whilst continuing the discussions they had already started during the matchmaking meeting sessions.

Day Two: Thursday 6th October

The final day of the inaugural Africa Security Technology Symposium began with tea and coffee in the Sponsor’s exhibition marquee.

Africa Security Technology Symposium Sponsors enjoyed a delectable lunch whilst engaging Ministers of Interior and Defense from 25 countries, and Ambassadors and Deputy Ministers from 42 of the 54 AU Member states – a valuable opportunity to discuss their reason for being in Addis Ababa and how they wish to aid the continent’s peace and security efforts.

Back in the AUC’s Medium Conference Hall, for the final plenary session of the event, delegates were treated to a further high-level, davos-style panel discussion introduced by the Conference Chair, Maj Gen Fields (RET), discussing ‘Borders; Past, Present & Future’.

Idris, NPM, mni, he would give a very detailed and passionate address on borders, defining their meaning and purpose whilst identifying the stakeholders involved, challenges being faced and a number of potential solutions that could aid the region’s efforts. The panel discussion would also feature Dr. Julius Maritim, Chief of INTERPOL’s National Central Bureau (NCB) for Kenya and, Abdifatah Ahmed Said, Director of Policy & Planning of Ministry of Defence, Somalia, with many

questions and comments being offered by the audience.

The Africa Security Technology Symposium would then move to its Closing Ceremony.

Once again, delegates were treated to remarks from the AUC’s Ambassador Fred Gateretse-Ngoga, Ag. Head of Conflict Prevention and Early Warning Division of the Peace & Security Department. Amb. Ngoga would offer his heartfelt thanks, on behalf of the African Union Commission (AUC), to everyone who had taken the time to support and attend GRV Global’s first symposium on Security Technology for Africa. He would emphasise the good that collaborations between the public and private sector had done for the continent and specifically regarding stability and development but, he would stress the ongoing need for parties to come together and stay ahead of the ever-changing threat to peace being seen by the people of Africa. The event’s Conference Chair, Maj Gen Fields (RET), would then conclude his vital role with a highlight of the two day’s major talking points; he would take great comfort in gatherings of this kind, commend the admirable efforts of GRV Global, greatly encourage discussions to be taken forward to future events for follow-up

H.E. Ambassador Smail Chergui, Commissioner of Peace & Security, African Union Commission (AUC)

Maj Gen Mohammad Maksudur Rahman, Deputy Force Commander of the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) etc., and sincerely wish that everyone would leave Addis Ababa as friends – new friends working together for Africa. In conclusion, and as he is known across the U.S. Marine Corps, the “Singing General” Maj Gen Fields (RET) would recite and sing ‘No Man Is An Island’, by English poet John Donne, to rapturous applause. Concluding the event’s plenary sessions, GRV Global’s CEO, Andy Dowell took a moment to sincerely thank the AUC for their guiding support and hospitality at the AUC Conference Centre, all the speakers and officials for taking time out of their busy schedules to present to and meet with the event’s sponsors and delegates, all the local suppliers GRV Global had used to produce a world-class event e.g. local students, printers, A/V and set specialists, photographer, and the Dawit Band (Cultural Diner), and lasting but certainly by no means least, a huge thank you to all the event’s valuable Sponsors who had actually made it possible to host the event in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Although the Closing Ceremony had now taken place, there was still a further session of afternoon matchmaking meetings to facilitate. However, before that, tea, coffee and pastries were enjoyed within the www.gr vglobal.com

Ambassador Smail Chegui, Commissioner of Peace & Security at the AUC, leading a delegation of Member State procurement and technical officials through so that they may experience first-hand, the potential technology the continent may utilise in order to boost its endeavours for lasting peace and security.

Heading back to the AUC’s Multipurpose Hall, and once again, a changed format, delegates were able to continue their schedule of Matchmaking Meetings with the event’s delegation of VIP speakers and officials. Further discussion and collaborations were a plenty; hundreds of one-to-one meetings were held highlighting one of GRV Global’s key features – a hugely valuable and rare opportunity for key stakeholders to meet in person, and create lasting relationships that may not have otherwise been aware to them. To round-off a very productive two days in Addis Ababa, delegates were able to join the AUC’s delegation of officials, from their 4th Conference of African Ministers in Charge of Border Issues, for a Cocktail Reception in the AUC’s Conference Centre foyer. Complimented by canapés and

refreshments, GRV Global’s sponsors and delegates were able to network with a plethora of senior officials akin to the continent’s border efforts and in particular, focussed on advanced technologies, before heading back to their country of origin in order to follow-up on the hundreds of contacts they had made across the two days in Ethiopia.

Making a Difference – Together Major General Arnold Fields U.S. Marine Corps (RET), Chairman, NAPA Standing Panel on International Affairs National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA)

The Africa Security Technology Symposium – ASTS 2016 – was billed as an opportunity to share ideas, conduct business, develop partnerships, network and access export and growth markets. His Excellency Smail Chegui, Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union Commission, used these words to highlight the symposium’s importance in helping the African Continent to enhance its capacity to address various peace and security issues. Although the Symposium focused on Africa on this occasion, it took place in full view of the stark realization that peace and security are dynamic global issues which demand collaboration and cooperation across local, regional and international boundaries.

I was very honored and privileged to accept GRV Global’s generous invitation to serve as Conference Chair and to help maneuver an assembly of very distinguished keynote speakers, panelists, participants, and vendors through a very relevant, thoughtful and timely agenda. I wish to thank GRV Global’s CEO, Mr. Andrew Dowell; and his talented team for their work and leadership in organizing the Symposium and for securing the excellent conference facilities at the African Union.

Six formal panels and two high-level Davos-style panels masterfully examined very vexing issues related to border control; counter-terrorism advancement; infrastructure protection; peace support operations; logistics and technologies involving land, sea and air engagements and deliveries; and the value of cooperation and resilience throughout the peace support continuum. I have identified a few noteworthy conference highlights and observations, selected from a litany of lessons too exhaustive to address in their entirety herein.

Security: Our world is not secure and is becoming increasingly perilous. No region is immune as terrorists continue to plan attacks in multiple regions.

Dr. Julius Maritim, Chief of INTERPOL’s National Central Bureau (NCB) for Kenya 16

www.g r vg l ob a l .com

The Threat: Increasingly complex, dynamic, omnipresent and thereby beyond individual human or organizational capacity to detect, manage, dismantle and defeat.

Collaboration and Cooperation: Imperatives at all levels, especially local, regional, and international government and security institutions.

Innovation: Leaders at all levels must listen for new ideas and be prepared to embrace new technologies.

Decision making: One of the most significant and important activities in our lives Technology: Can help to simplify the way we make decisions.

Azeez Nurudeen Kolawole, Chief of the Operational Planning & Advisory Section (OPAS) at the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU)

Capacity: Peacekeepers are stretched as never before; technology may have a role in mitigating this problem.

Interoperability: An imperative when two or more organizations are engaged in peace support operations – especially military units – and have integrated and shared responsibilities within the same space while in support of common objectives. As contributing nations are most likely to “buy what they can afford”, leaders should collaborate, coordinate, find the “common ground” and always seek to engender a culture of “interoperability.”

Trust: An endangered imperative of human interaction and progress and must be restored in all aspects of human existence, especially institutions directly engaged in defeating terror and crime in an effort to advance global peace and security.

ROUNDTABLE PROFILES EU NAVAL FORCE SOMALIA (EU NAVFOR) EU Naval Force Somalia (EU NAVFOR), Operation Atalanta, was launched in December 2008 by European Union Member States in response to rising levels of piracy off the coast of Somalia. Pirate attacks were costing billions of euros to the global economy and compromising World Food Programme shipments to the famine-ridden country, and whilst attacks are being suppressed, it is assessed that there are still pirates, who given the opportunity, would go out to sea and attack seafarers and their vessels for ransom. EU NAVFOR has its Operational Headquarters in Northwood, London, and Force Headquarters aboard an EU flagship in the Area of Operations off the coast of Somalia.

Warships are deployed to Operation Atalanta by EU Member States on a rotational basis and complemented by EU maritime air patrol assets based out of Djibouti. Nations, for example Serbia and Lithuania, also provide maritime protection teams on a rotational basis; the teams embark vulnerable WFP vessels for six months at a time to ensure that the much-needed humanitarian aid on board arrives safely into port. To date, EU NAVFOR has protected over 400 WFP humanitarian vessels and helped to ensure over 1.2 million tonnes of food-aid reached Somalia.

EUCAP NESTOR SOMALIA In July 2012, the European Union launched EUCAP Nestor, a civilian maritime capacity building Mission operating in five states across the Horn of Africa and Western Indian Ocean (Djibouti, Somalia, Seychelles, Kenya and Tanzania). Following comprehensive strategic reviews of the Mission in 2015 and 2016, activities in all states except Somalia were phased out and a decision was made to focus the Mission on Somalia only and rename it as EUCAP Somalia. The Mission Headquarters (MHQ) were relocated to Mogadishu in 2015 with the objective of strengthening the maritime security and legal capacity of Somalia to effectively govern its waters and to reinforce their ability to fight piracy. The Mission’s operational activities include supporting the practical implementation of legislation and policy frameworks. This includes training, mentoring, advising and monitoring using embedded experts, and carrying out capacity building activities with Somali judicial and prosecutorial actors responsible for the investigation and prosecution of suspected pirates and their leaders.

FEDERAL POLICE COMMISSION; ETHIOPIA Through the delivery of a policing service that matches public satisfaction and trust, in line with international standards, the mission of Ethiopia’s Federal Police Commission is to contribute to the development and prosperity of the nation by respecting and enforcing respect of the constitution and other laws of the land, preventing crime and criminal threats and ensuring prevalence of peace and security through active participation of the people.
