dc.description.abstractSilencing the Guns by 2020 remains one of the 15 flagship projects of Africa’s Agenda 2063 which has been identified as key to accelerating Africa’s economic growth and development as African countries collectively seek to create a peaceful and secure Africa. However, the reality on the ground depicts varying levels of success, challenges and complexities across all African regions as the continent grapples with numerous wars, civil conflicts, unconstitutional change of governments (UCGs), terrorism, violent popular uprisings, gender-based violence and cases of genocide. Using secondary data analysis, this paper examined the progress, achievements, challenges, stumbling blocks and opportunities that have confronted African countries in the first Ten-Year Implementation Plan of Agenda 2063 as they pursue the national, regional and continental efforts and initiatives to Silencing the Guns. Findings from the study provide useful empirical insights into the monitoring and evaluation of the Ten-Year Implementation Plan of the Agenda 2063 with respect to peace and security. This is critical in the achievement of the overall AU’s vision of building a peaceful, stable, secure, integrated and prosperous Africa, and the essence of Agenda 2030 on the Sustainable Development Goals.
