The Association was reformed during the transition period (2017-2019) 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 of the Association reduced during the transition period mainly due to financial constraints and other challenges experienced by most of these Members during the period. Thus, as at end of 2019, Active Members Institutions are :
Member Training Institutions
- 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.
- International Peace Support Training Centre (IPSTC), Kenya.
- Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS), Ethiopia.
- Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), Ghana.
- Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership & Peacekeeping Centre (MLAILPKC), Nigeria.
- National Defence College of Nigeria (NDC), Nigeria.
- Rwanda Peace Academy (RPA), Rwanda.
Following the end of the transition period, with support from the Government of Cameroon, there has been a barrage of peace and security training, research, and capacity building institutions across Africa, requesting admission into the Association as members. However, this would be subject to Board of Directors and Annual General Meeting decisions in the last Quarter of 2020, in accordance with the Constitution as well as Policies and Procedures of the Association.
