Headquartered in South Africa, AUDA-NEPAD works to strengthen the capacity of African Union Member States and regional bodies, provide knowledge-based advisory support, and mobilize resources for key development initiatives.
Its core mandate revolves around fostering sustainable growth, eradicating poverty, promoting good governance, and integrating Africa into the global economy through strategic interventions in areas such as infrastructure development, agriculture and food security, human capital development, industrialization, and natural resource governance.
By fostering partnerships and driving innovative solutions, AUDA-NEPAD is a key player in realizing Africa's vision for a prosperous, integrated, and peaceful continent.
