The African Union and the continent's challenges

The AU is ambitious, but it faces major obstacles.

Major challenges

• Lack of stable funding
• Persistent armed conflicts
• Weak integration of peoples
• Delays in the implementation of certain projects

Solutions in progress

• Mobilize African funds (tax on imports)
• Strengthening preventive diplomacy
• Creating institutions closer to citizens

The African Union has a key role to play, but it needs the support of member states and African citizens.
