Since the early 1960s, post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa has
experienced significant crisis and conflict brought on by
environmental disasters and internal ethnic violence. African
leaders and the international community have sought resolution to
these dilemmas through peacekeeping operations and humanitarian
relief efforts. The looming crisis in Burundi in 1996 led the
United States to launch the African Crisis Response Initiative
(ACRI), a program designed to work in partnership with African
countries to enhance their capability to respond to crises. This
thesis seeks to determine if the current measures of effectiveness
(MOEs) for ACRI satisfy strategic goals for the program. The thesis
begins by providing a broad overview of post-colonial African
crises leading to the evolution of ACRI. This is followed by a
qualitative analysis of available military and government documents
and select current literature to determine MOEs based on strategic
goals, analyze currently established MOEs, and conduct a comparison
between the two based on the satisfaction of the identified
strategic goals. The thesis concludes by providing MOE
recommendations for possible future iterations of ACRI.
