The establishment of the African Union (AU) and its architecture has been a leap forward for Africa’s integration, prosperity and peaceful future. The foundation of the AU moved from Pan-African roots (Mezu 1965; Murithi 2005) and has been able to transform them into concrete political and operational terms. However, the transformative process has just started and the AU will need several reforms and continuous improvements to achieve the ambitious objectives presented in its programmatic Agenda 2063. The AU has developed several strategic documents, but it remains a highly hierarchic and bureaucratic organization, still inefficient in several daily practices.
