In November, the heads of state of the African Union (AU) will convene for the fourth time in a year, with the aim of accelerating the Union’s reform process, a key priority of the current AU chair, Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
How is the reform process going? What direction is the Union choosing? Is it equipped and ready to take on the challenges set out in its Agenda 2063?
Opening remarks by Christine Nkulikiyinka, Ambassador of the Republic of Rwanda to Sweden.
Cristina Duarte, Former Minister for Finance and Planning of Cabo Verde, and member of the AU Reforms Advisory Committee
Johannes Oljelund, Director-General for International development cooperation, Sweden’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Iina Soiri, Director of The Nordic Africa Institute (NAI)
The seminar was moderated by Mats Karlsson, former Director of UI and it was organised together with the Nordic Africa Institute (NAI) and the Embassy of Rwanda in Sweden.
