African Union
The African Union (AU) is a continental organisation with 55 member states. It was officially founded in 2002 to take over from the Organisation of African Unity (OAU, 1963-1999). Its aims are to work towards the promotion of democracy, human rights and development across Africa, particularly by increasing external investment through the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). This programme considers peace and democracy as prerequisites for sustainable development.
