Abstract
Effective, viable and sustainable, functional Standby Force like the Southern African Development Community Standby Force (SADCSF) has been curtailed by overdependence on foreign peacekeeping operations (PKOs) in the region and by independent member state. The aim of this study is to develop a funding mechanism to finance peacekeeping operations for the Southern African Development Community Standby Force (SADCSF). The objectives are to; (1) examine the theoretical and practical dimensions of security architecture. (2) Determine the challenges of security architecture in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). (3) Develop an analytical tool for proposing a partnership model for funding the Southern African Development Community Standby Force (SADCSF). ( 4) Identify gaps and make recommendations on a suitable and sustainable funding mechanism for SADC Standby force. The study uses both existing empirical quasi-statistics and desktop. Two theories and eleven analytical frameworks were utilized. The study contends that with an effective and adequate funding mechanism that is home grown; the funding challenges of the Southern African Development Community Standby Force (SADCSF) could be addressed. It recommends
that the Southern African Development Community Standby Force (SADCSF) must have a separate budget account like the UN and NATO. That non-actors (citizens, multinationals and NGOs) must also be considered for funding the Southern African Development Community Standby Force (SADCSF); and lastly, that a religious implementation of the Task on Tank Model as a means for funding PKO for the SADCSF must be explored.
