Presentation
As the African partner of the German NGO SICHERHEIT NEU DENKEN (SND), the Rethinking Security in Africa Network is a non-political, non-profit, interregional African non-governmental organization. It aims to promote innovative and sustainable solutions offered by the socio-political paradigm of active non-violence to strengthen security in Africa.
We work to raise awareness, mobilize, and build the capacity of communities and governments, while contributing to strengthening peace, security, and social cohesion.
Mission
Our mission is to promote and, above all, to rethink security and peace in Africa in line with and respecting the objectives of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA).
The RRAS plays a crucial role in the search for innovative and sustainable solutions to address the security challenges facing the African continent. Through our exchanges and collaborations, we have developed a better understanding of security issues and are working to implement concrete initiatives to resolve them.

3. Good governance and natural resource management;
4. Women's leadership and conflict resolution towards sustainable development;
5. Restorative justice as a bridge to living together and development;
