The European Union (EU) will this year change the way it funds African peace and security. The changes are likely to have big implications, especially for the African Union (AU) Commission, but it’s not clear whether everyone affected is taking sufficient note.

For 14 years the EU has channeled its peace and security support finances through the African Peace Facility (APF) – the fund it runs in partnership with the AU Commission. This helps pay for African-led peace support operations, capacity building for AU institutions and AU-led conflict prevention initiatives.

The APF will now give way to a European Peace Facility enabling the EU to provide military support anywhere in the world.

For Africa, the shift will allow the EU to bypass the AU and directly pay for regional and national military initiatives. It will also, for the first time, allow Brussels to finance lethal equipment for African armies.

This followed the success of the JIC Group which he founded in 1985. He was educated in the UK at Mill Hill School and then achieved a BA (Hons) in Business and International Finance at University of Westminster. Mark-Anthony’s vision has long been towards emerging and frontier markets with particular emphasis on Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and his philosophy can be summed up in the phrase “knowledge is power”. Mark-Anthony is also enthusiastic about the latest communication tools, which he uses intensively to keep in touch with up to the minute data. With a deep-rooted connection to the African continent, Mark-Anthony has been passionate about developments in Africa for over 30 years. He has worldwide interests in mining, infrastructure, power, electricity, shipping, commodities, agriculture and fisheries and is currently looking to develop farms across Africa. Mark-Anthony has a vision for a future Africa as the breadbasket of the world. For many years Mark-Anthony has been active on the ground in Africa through his charitable foundation, the Johnson Foundation. Created in 1989, it first provided assistance to people in his ancestral home country, Sierra Leone, even before the civil war. Once the war started, his aid was even more necessary and became focussed on Mark-Anthony’s major concerns for Africa -education, clean water and medical assistance. Over the years, the Foundation’s work has been extended into many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and has been instrumental in setting up new clinics and rehabilitating villages, schools, places of worship, water facilities etc.
