Abstract: Abstract This chapter decolonizes collaboration and discusses Africa’s South-South collaborations, such as: the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM); the Group of 77 Nations (G77); the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) group of emerging economies; the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) which is interchangeable with the Vulnerable 20 Group (V20); the African Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP) in response to the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’s state of play on climate change policy, particularly in the light of the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) meeting at Sharm-El-Sheikh in November 2022 and COP29 at Baku in November 2024; the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) and the African Union (AU)’s reorganized Department of Political Affairs, Peace and Security (PAPS). Under APSA, the chapter discusses the AU Peace Fund, Continental Early Warning System, a foreign policy department at the AU, the African Standby Force and its sub-regional security collaborations such as: the Southern African Development Community (SADC)’s Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM) along with Rwandan collaboration with Mozambique on counterterrorism; the SADC Mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo (SAMIDRC); the Nairobi Process for mediating a resolution between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and armed groups operating in Eastern DRC brokered by the East African Community (EAC); the Luanda Process for addressing the inter-state dimension of the Eastern DRC crises via a political dialogue between Rwanda and DRC brokered by the International Conference on the Great Lakes (ICGLR). The chapter ends with a note on what Russian forces and other potential Global South collaborators have to do with Africa’s emerging security landscape.
