Project history
HAWA IV builds upon the “pilot phase” (September 2013 until January 2016) and project phase II (February 2016 until December 2018), and project phase III (March 2019 – December 2021) which established a good basis for effective cooperation between the ASPR and KAIPTC as contractual project partners, the Ministry of Defense as a key supporting institution, the ADA as a donor and the Austrian Federal Ministry for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs (MFA) as another important stakeholder, especially in the context of the Austrian 3C Approach. Fragile situations require a coordinated, complementary, and coherent approach by all actors. The 3C approach involves coordinated action by state institutions from the fields of diplomacy, development policy, military, financial and economic policy, police and justice as well as from non-governmental organizations from the fields of development cooperation, humanitarian aid, the protection and promotion of human rights as well as peacebuilding. Specific qualities, approaches, working principles and procedures come into play at various levels.
The HAWA project is part of a long-term commitment to peace and security in West Africa.
