The rapid increase of crises across Africa highlights the urgent need for a more unified, effective, and well-resourced African Union (AU) Commission.
Despite efforts to integrate governance and security functions within the AU, successes remain limited. The complexity of Africa's conflicts demands a strategic approach—one that strengthens institutional coherence while equipping the AU with adequate tools and resources.
“A more cohesive and capable AU Commission is essential to address the continent's evolving security and governance challenges.”
The AU's merger of governance and security aims to streamline responses but requires stronger capacity and coordination to fulfill its potential effectively.
