Dolphine Ndeda—During the African Union Summit in Accra in June 2007, African Heads of States agreed to subject the African Union to a comprehensive audit review.

The High-Level panel to review the African Union presented its final report, AUDIT_REPORT.doc, for discussion and adoption at last week’s Executive Council meeting in Addis Ababa. However, a decision was once again postponed as it was agreed that African Foreign Ministers should hold an extraordinary meeting in three months for decision on implementation of the recommendations of the panel, thus further delaying final decision until at least the next AU Summit in July 2008.
