table>(1)Under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), the Union has so far committed a total of EUR 1 627 300 000 to the African Peace Facility (APF) to provide financial support to African Union responses to ongoing and emerging security crises in Africa. This engagement in peace and security on the African continent should be sustained for the period 2019-2020.
(2)APF requirements for the period 2019-2020 are estimated at EUR 814 860 000.

(3)It is appropriate to use decommitted funds from projects under the 10th EDF to ensure the financing of the APF up to the end of 2020.

(4)Those funds should finance APF activities, including support for the operationalisation of the African Peace and Security Architecture, support for initiatives aimed at preventing and managing violent conflict in case of urgent and unforeseen needs in crisis situations (Early Response Mechanism) and support to African-led Peace Support Operations, and should cover support expenditure incurred by the Commission.

(5)Those funds should be used in accordance with the relevant APF multiannual action programme and with the rules and procedures applicable to the 11th EDF, as set out in Council Regulations (EU) 2015/322 (2) and (EU) 2018/1877 (3),
