Описание: On October 16, 2017, the Wilson Center Africa Program hosted a discussion on “Reforming the African Union for Financial Independence, Sustainability and Effectiveness” with Dr. Donald Kaberuka, the African Union High Representative for Financing of the Union and Peace Fund. This discussion centered around the key role that the African Union (AU) and its predecessor, the Organization for African Unity, has played in establishing democratic norms and promoting peace and security on the continent. It also highlighted some challenges to implementation and funding that AU is currently facing and recommendations for increasing the AU’s financial independence, as laid out in the “Report on the Proposed Recommendations for the Institutional Reform of the African Union,” by H.E. Paul Kagame.
