The African Union, also known as AU, is a privately owned continental intergovernmental organization consisting of 55 member states on the African continent, headquartered in Ethiopia. The organization, which replaced the Organization of African Unity (OAU) established in 1963, was itself formed in 2002, and operates with an estimated 2,170 employees, reporting $676.9M in revenue as of 2024. Functioning as a tier 3 media tech buyer, the African Union also engages in athletics and multi-discipline sports, and is dedicated to promoting an integrated, prosperous, and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens.
On April 4, 2026, the African Union (AU) and Senegal disowned former Senegalese President Macky Sall's bid for the United Nations Secretary-General seat, a stance reiterated by twenty other AU member states, though Sall continues his campaign. Previously, on April 3, regional economic leaders meeting on the sidelines of the ECA’s 58th session in Tangier, Morocco, urged African nations to address mounting economic strain caused by the Middle East conflict, which has disrupted energy, food, and fertilizer markets. Earlier the same day, experts noted Malawi's failure to translate African Union agricultural commitments into practical reforms, while the Southern African Development Community (SADC) emerged as the best-performing region in implementing these commitments.
