The African Union Commission (AUC), headquartered in Ethiopia, was established as a unique Pan-African continental body and is charged with spearheading Africa’s rapid integration and sustainable development by promoting unity, solidarity, cohesion and cooperation among the peoples of Africa and African States as well as developing a new partnership worldwide. Within the African Union, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) was adopted in 2001 in Lusaka, Zambia, aimed primarily at poverty alleviation and the promotion of economic growth and sustainable development in Africa.
