African Renaissance Trust's structured engagement with the African Union architecture — the frameworks we work within, the policies we track, and how we show up at continental decision points.
Each area reflects a different dimension of how we work within and alongside the African Union system.
The African Union treaties, protocols, declarations, and agendas that provide the normative foundation for our three thematic pillars — and the domestication gaps we work to close.
A structured reference of AU decisions, resolutions, and commitments — organised by pillar and instrument type — to support civil society organisations, researchers, and parliamentary actors.
How African Renaissance Trust engages with the AU Commission, AU Assembly, and regional economic communities — from pre-session coalition building to post-session domestication follow-through.
The African Union sets the normative agenda for 55 member states. Its protocols, declarations, and decisions create the legitimacy framework that national governments are accountable to — and that civil society can use to demand action. Working within the AU system is not optional for organisations that want change to last.
Our three programme approaches — policy advocacy, health financing, and active citizenry — all operate with reference to specific AU instruments. The AU Platform brings that reference into one place.
Explore our three programme approaches to see how AU frameworks translate into on-the-ground engagement.
