Seminar at NAI in Uppsala, 21 October
'Building the African Union institutional architecture - Progress achieved, new perspectives and possible support by the EU'.
Against a background of rapid changes the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) and the Nordic Africa Institute (NAI) as independent policy analysis institutes, will organise an informal high level multi-stakeholder seminar on 21 October in Uppsala, on the brink of the European Development Days (22-24 October) in Stockholm. The meeting is organised with the support of the Swedish EU Presidency and in close coordination with the African Union (AU).
The seminar aims to take stock of the record of the AU institutional architecture, its ongoing reforms and future challenges ahead and the roles that the EU could possibly play in support of the AU institutional architecture.
