To Participate

THE AFRICAN UNION COMMISSION

The African Union Commission (AU) was launched in 2002 as a metamorphosis of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) which was founded in May, 1963. The OAU was founded with a Pan-African vision for an Africa that should be united, free and in control of her own destiny by her founding fathers, who recognized that freedom, equality, justice and dignity were essential objectives for achieving the legitimate aspirations of the African peoples.

The membership of the African Union Commission is made up of all 55 African countries who have a combined population of 1.3 billion people with different cultures that enrich her diversity. The African Union headquarters which is located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia has a mandate to achieve greater unity and solidarity between African countries, promote democratic principles and good governance among others, while supporting institutional efforts at reviewing the future of Africa, enhancing an African social model and way of life by forging Pan-African values subservient to MDG’s, through its Economic, Social & Cultural Council (ECOSOCC).

As the need to fashion out a sustainable development trajectory for Africa became more and more imperative, it became necessary to revive its development objectives in the face of several structural transformations. This gave birth to “Agenda 2063”; a continental blueprint of the Africa we want, to transform the nations therein into democratic, peaceful, and innovative powerhouses that will aim to be global players in the next 50 years.
