The African Union Development Agency-NEPAD (AUDA-NEPAD) is a strategic framework for pan-African socio-economic development. Established in 2001, it aims to eradicate poverty, promote sustainable growth and development, and integrate Africa into the global economy. AUDA-NEPAD focuses on the implementation of priority programs and projects at regional and continental levels, enhancing Africa’s capacity to manage its own development through partnerships and resource mobilization.
With its headquarters in Midrand, South Africa, AUDA-NEPAD serves as the technical body of the African Union. It plays a crucial role in coordinating and executing regional and continental projects, advocating for policy reforms, and facilitating knowledge sharing among African nations. The agency is instrumental in driving initiatives across various sectors, including agriculture, infrastructure, health, and education, to foster sustainable development and improve the quality of life for all Africans.
