Defence policy & strategy

Research and advice for the people who write defence policy in Africa, fund it, or have to answer for it.

Questions this answers

  • What does this defence review or white paper commit to, and is it funded?
  • What are the realistic options for a capability gap, and what does each cost?
  • What will a policy or budget change mean for forces, industry and partners?
  • How does a country's peace-support commitment compare with what it can sustain?
  • What should an oversight committee be asking?
