This publication examines the attitudes, motivations and values of the emerging generation of African security sector professionals as well as how these young actors compare to prior generations. To do so, the authors draw on a survey of 742 African security sector professionals from 37 countries. Key insights include 1) that 65 percent of the youngest cohort of African security sector professionals are motivated to join by a commitment to serve their country; 2) 46 percent view corruption as their greatest security challenge; 3) 97 percent hold international training in high regard, and much more.
