Section 6.3 discusses harmonisation and monitoring of security-sector governance within regional security arrangements. Section 6.4 discusses examples of African regional initiatives where security-sector governance is beginning to show some promise and relevance. Section 6.5 discusses the role of "regional hegemons" in the incorporation of security-sector reform into the regional agenda.
