Kenya's President William Ruto proposed a significant increase in the African Union (AU) Peace Fund from KSh 52 billion to KSh 129 billion to bolster Africa's security independence from external donors. These recommendations were presented at the Second Session of the Summit of Heads of State and Government in Luanda, Angola.

• The plan aims for a more predictable, credible, and sustainably financed peace and security system, calling for 0.2% import levy implementation and engagement with African financial institutions.
• Ruto recommended adherence to "Golden Rules" of budgeting, with a baseline of KSh 32 billion for assessed contributions in 2027, progressively increasing over ten years.
• The reforms include integrating the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) and the African Governance Architecture (AGA) into a single framework and upgrading the African Standby Force (ASF) with a Rapid Response Component.
