In April, when The Gambia served as the stand-in chairperson of the month, the African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC) had a scheduled program of work consisting of four sessions along with a ‘field visit’ to Abuja for the Abuja High-Level Meeting on Counterterrorism meeting. After the revision of the programme, the PSC convened six sessions, conducted a field visit to Abuja and convened the Inaugural Annual Joint Consultative Meeting between the PSC and the Mediation and Security Council of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
