toreformthe

security
cooperation,
has
far-reaching
implications
for
U.S.
defense
interests
in
Africa.
As
the
Chairman
of

House
Armed
Services
Committee
notes,
“the
Department
of
Defense
continues
to
place
greater
emphasis
on
security
cooperation,
to
include
building
partner
capacity.”
The
term
“building
partner
capacity”
(BPC)
widens
the
focus
of
security
cooperation
as
a
whole-of-government
effort,
and
makes
clear
the
congressional
interest
in
treating
security
cooperation
as
a
defense
institution
building
endeavor.
In
response
to
the
law,
this
book
examines
and
recommends
specific
steps
the
DoD
can
take
to
build
partner
capacity
successfully
in
Africa
and
meet
congressional
direction.
