June 2024 - Issue #2

Following the dissemination of the maiden edition of TfP’s e-newsletter in December 2023, we are thrilled to present the first edition of our bi-annual newsletter for 2024. You’ll learn about our key activities with our Partners, and we specially invite you to read our insightful publications and the stirring findings and recommendations they present.

The TfP Programme is the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ flagship capacity-support programme to the African Union Commission (AUC). It also acts as the implementing arm of the peace and security component of the MoU between the government of Norway and the AU.
