The Peace pillar – The European Union (EU) is a long-standing and active partner for peace and governance in Africa, providing both substantial financial and operational support. Cooperation between the EU and Africa in the area of peace and security promotes Africa's ownership – the principle of 'African solutions to African problems' – and recognises the African Union as a central player in this field. EU common security and defence policy missions and operations, together with the European Peace Facility and the Global Europe instrument, back African peace operations, mediation efforts and institutional capacity building. However, this partnership faces increasing challenges from regional fragmentation, shifting alliances, and intensifying geopolitical competition on the continent.
