Peace Fund

Peace Fund

The African Union Peace Fund (AUPF) was established in June 1993 as one of the operational tools to finance the peace and security activities of the Organization for African Unity (OAU). Article 21 of the Protocol Relating to the Establishment of the Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union provides for the legal establishment of a special fund to be known as the Peace Fund with the objective of providing the necessary financial resources for peace support missions and other operational activities related to peace and security in Africa. Article 3 of the PSC Protocol states that the Fund will finance the AU’s operational peace and security activities.
