📋 Tender Overview
It was during the working sessions of the permanent representatives held from June 8 to 11 in the city of Kigali, Rwanda, on the reform of the African Union.
After the inauguration of these works by the Chairman of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, and the Rwandan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, the sessions began with a review of the available documentation on the institutional framework of the African Union.
It should be noted that in 2016, African leaders decided on the urgent need to reform the institutions of the African Union, considering the role that this continental organization must play to achieve the objectives set out in Agenda 2063, recommending concentrating on a reduced number of priorities with continental impact, and paying greater attention to political issues, peace and security, economic integration and strengthening the global voice of Africa.
The institutional reform of the African Union also includes a reflection on the distribution of tasks among the different bodies, offices and agencies of the African Union throughout the world, as well as the role that regional economic communities should play based on the principle of subsidiarity.
Therefore, the ambassadors of the member countries of the African Union, including the acting ambassador of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, Crisantos Obama Ondo, have met for four days in Kigali to analyze the level of implementation of these recommendations.
In his speech, the representative of Equatorial Guinea expressed his appreciation for the work carried out by the Commission and the consultants in the framework of the analysis of the goals of the different bodies of the Union, underlining the importance of working so that the African Union is a effective and efficient institution, with the capacity to achieve the objectives for which it was created and Agenda 2063.
Obama Ondo has also highlighted the effective contributions made by the Government of Equatorial Guinea for the African Union to achieve the objectives set out in the Constitutive Act.
