INSTITUTE FOR PEACE AND SECURITY STUDIES

IPSS produces skilled professionals in conflict prevention, management, resolution, peacebuilding, and promotes the values of a democratic and peaceful society. We currently offer five education programmes: a one-year Executive MA on Managing Peace and Security in Africa (MPSA), a two-year MA Programme in Peace and Security Studies; a PhD Programme in Peace, Security, Federalism and Human Rights; and joint MA and PhD programmes in Global Studies. IPSS also serves as the secretariat of the Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa, an annual high-level gathering of heads of state, policymakers, academia, and the private sector to discuss and find solutions to Africa's challenges in peace and security... IPSS also aims to set up and institutionalise an annual summer school to address and reflect on current topics. Intended participants are alumni of IPSS, particularly those from the MPSA programme. The programme is also expected to attract high performing alumni from the IPSS..
