Research is an integral part of APFO’s work and that cuts across most of the organization’s programs. The support and promotion of the development of capacity for research and analysis in early warning, small arms, conflict management and peace building is a critical objective of the organization. 

 

In the pursuit of this objective, the organization has been involved in several research projects, including: Developing a Regional Security Architecture in the IGAD Region–Phase Two; Building the Capacity for Sustainable Peace: Track Two Diplomacy and the Sudan Conflict; CEWARN, in APFO’s capacity as Kenya’s National Research Institute for IGAD CEWARN; and Conflict in the East Africa Sub-region: A Strategic Analysis.
