The African Conference of Commandants is an annual forum that convenes Commandants of African Command and Staff Colleges to advance the education, training, and professional development of military officers. The conference also promotes cooperation, harmonisation, and interoperability among African military institutions.
Organised by the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF), the event will serve as a platform to strengthen continental collaboration in military training, strategic thinking, and research. Participants will focus on leveraging digital technologies to address emerging regional and global security challenges, while exploring joint resolutions and frameworks to enhance military education across Africa.
The conference will gather Commandants and senior representatives from African Command and Staff Colleges, the African Union Peace & Security Council, defence experts, strategic partners, and regional security practitioners.
This year, the conference will place particular emphasis on bridging the digital divide in military training, while continuing to strengthen cooperation, standardisation, and regional security efforts across African defence forces.
Rwanda's hosting of the conference underscores the RDF's commitment to advancing continental security cooperation and its leadership in defence education.
The 18th edition of the conference was held in Tripoli, Libya, from 3 to 5 November 2024.
