Member Institutions

The Association has been reformed and strengthened during the transition period (2017-2019), with support from the Government of Cameroon, including the relocation of the permanent executive secretariat from Nairobi Kenya to Yaounde Cameroon. During the transition period, the Association acquired a diplomatic status congruent with its functions as a continental organization. The number of active Member Institutions (MIs) of APSTA which reduced during the transition period due mainly to financial constraints experienced by most of these Members, already show prospects of rapid increase, following a barrage of new requests for membership in 2019. However, APSTA retains its continental coverage and legitimacy. Below is a list of MIs as at 2019 :

• African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD), South Africa.
• Cairo Regional Centre for Training on Conflict Resolution and Peacekeeping in Africa (CCCPA), Egypt.
• Ecole de Maintien de la Paix Alioune Blondin BEYE (EMPABB), Mali.
• Ecole International des Forces de Securité (EIFORCES), Cameroon.
