In May, under the Chairship of Sierra Leone, the African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council’s (PSC) Provisional Program of Work (PPoW) for the month provided for the convening of five substantive sessions and a field mission to the Republic of Guinea. Following two revisions to its PPoW, the PSC held four sessions and undertook the mission.

While three of the sessions focused on thematic issues, one session focused on a country-specific situation. All of the sessions were convened at the ambassadorial level.
