Africa Day 2014

25 May
 

Africa Day celebrates the day when the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), the precursor to the African Union (AU), was formed in 1963.

Africa Day celebrations acknowledge the progress that we, as Africans, have made, while reflecting upon the common challenges we face in a global environment.

In 2013, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the African Union with the theme “2013, Year of Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance”.

The AU is at the centre of the continent’s renewal process, aimed at making a break with a past that characterised by political instability, poverty and underdevelopment.
