TY - BOOK T1 - Towards a people-driven African Union : current obstacles and new opportunities N2 - This report is the first independent, substantive and public assessment of the progress of the African Union. 'Towards a People-Driven African Union: Current Obstacles and New Opportunities' analyses the preparations of African Union member-states, the AU Commission and civil society organisations for the twice-yearly AU summits. The main finding is that despite some welcome new opportunities for participation, the African Union's vision of -an Africa driven by its own citizens- remains largely unfulfilled. Detailed recommendations are offered to help deliver on this vision in future. Published by AFRODAD, AfriMAP and Oxfam, this report is endorsed by more than a dozen other organisations in Africa and elsewhere, and is based on interviews with more than 50 representatives of member-states, the AU Commission and civil society organisations in eleven African countries.
