Abstract
The African Union continues to work towards harmonising its African Standby Force concept with the range of ad hoc groupings that have developed, such as the G-5 Sahel and the Multi-National Joint Task Force combating Boko Haram. Despite increasing international commitment, and amid persistent military operations, the security situation in West Africa and the Sahel region continues to deteriorate.
