Transitions inclusives

Facilité africaine de soutien aux transitions inclusives (AFSIT)

Renforcer la gouvernance, accélérer le développement

Entre 2020 et 2022, le continent africain a connu six coups d’État et trois tentatives de coups d’État, un chiffre en forte augmentation par rapport aux deux décennies précédentes. Les coups d’État et autres formes de changement anticonstitutionnel de gouvernement sont des phénomènes complexes qui peuvent offrir des occasions cruciales de renforcer la gouvernance, promouvoir la démocratie et garantir le développement d’un pays. Pour accomplir de tels objectifs, il est toutefois nécessaire de disposer d’un mécanisme flexible fondé sur la demande.

C’est dans ce contexte que le PNUD a lancé la Facilité africaine de soutien aux transitions inclusives (AFSIT) le 15 juillet 2023. Initiative conjointe du PNUD et de la Commission de l’Union africaine (CUA), l’AFSIT vise à apporter un soutien programmatique intégré aux pays d’Afrique qui traversent une transition politique complexe.

Annual Report 2023 - AFRICA FACILITY TO SUPPORT INCLUSIVE TRANSITIONS (AFSIT)

The partnership between UNDP and the AUC in the establishment of AFSIT portends several advantages. The African Union and other regional actors have established robust normative frameworks to advance democratic governance, and human security and promote the right to development on the continent. They have also often led political engagements and interventions to address complex political transitions in Africa. These political engagements have had mixed results and may sometimes constrain regional actors from direct or immediate engagements with countries experiencing complex political transitions due to decisions such as sanctions. Yet, there is a clear recognition of the need to stay and deliver for the population even during such complex political transitions.

AFSIT Monitor

The AFSIT monitor- An analysis of transition contexts in Africa

The AFSIT Monitor is a quarterly report produced by the AFSIT Secretariat. It provides succinct analysis of ongoing transition contexts, with relevant insights for AFSIT entry points. Intended as an information-sharing platform, the AFSIT Monitor also captures progress being made in the implementation of the facility, including specific AFSIT activities and upcoming events. This issue looks at recent regional dynamics, including the high number of general elections coming up across Africa this year, and the impact these polls could have on the transition processes — and vice-versa. This edition also presents the outcomes of the AFSIT Assessment Mission deployed to Mali in November 2023.
