Success Story: African Union Capacity Building Project

A testament to our expertise in driving change is the Capacity Building project with the African Union from 2016 to 2022. This initiative aimed to improve the operational efficiency of the African Union, resulting in significant internal transformation and enhanced performance.
Success Story #1:
Promoting gender equality in Africa
The African Union has made significant strides in promoting gender equality. Through targeted policies and initiatives aimed at fostering a more inclusive workplace, the organization has seen a substantial increase in the representation of women in professional roles. In 2014, women held 32% of professional contracts within the African Union. By 2020, this figure had risen to 40%, reflecting the Union’s commitment to advancing gender parity and empowering women within its ranks.
Success Story #2:
Building an Efficient African Union
The African Union has focused on enhancing its operational efficiency through comprehensive reforms and capacity-building initiatives. For instance, these efforts have led to a notable improvement in budget management, with the budget engagement rate increasing from 55% in 2014 to 81% in 2020. This progress underscores the Union’s dedication to optimizing resource utilization and achieving greater effectiveness in its programs and initiatives across the continent.
Success Story #3:
Providing the Necessary Tools to better Serve Africa
The African Union carried out various initiatives to enhance staff efficiency by equipping them with essential tools and resources. As part of these efforts, the AU has invested in ICT materials to facilitate paper-free summits, promoting sustainability and streamlining operations. This shift to digital solutions not only reduces environmental impact but also enables staff to work more effectively, aligning with the Union's broader goals of improving organizational efficiency and modernizing its processes.
