These agencies operate across diverse sectors, including peace and security, economic integration, human rights, health, and education.
They are distinct from the AU's main organs, such as the African Union Commission and the Pan-African Parliament, and are tasked with specific mandates to address continental challenges.
They are designed to provide technical expertise, coordinate regional initiatives, and implement programs aligned with the AU's strategic framework, Agenda 2063.
These agencies often collaborate with regional economic communities (RECs), international organizations, and non-state actors to achieve their goals.
Strengthening institutional capacity, enhancing member state collaboration, and improving resource mobilization are critical for achieving the goals of Agenda 2063.
