Sourcing The Most Reliable African Business & Political News

The maintenance of peace, stability and progress, is the primary objective of any government. Since intelligence is an instrument to achieve this goal, the two concepts inevitably represent the two sides of the same coin. To be of value to policy making, intelligence must have the attributes of accuracy, relevance, predictive capacity, an element of warning, and timeliness.

The professional expertise of intelligence organizations, help decision makers to make the best and the most appropriate national security decisions. Intelligence information provides as complete and as accurate an understanding of the external environment as possible and helps minimize the uncertainty associated with managerial decisions. Given the nature of insecurity in a continent like Africa, intelligence priorities are leaning towards transnational security and the requirements of collaborative intelligence structures. This trend presents opportunity for reform, especially in terms of creating more openness.
