Civil Society Communiqué to the Assembly of the Heads of States
Today, June 23, civil society organisations from across Africa met during the Continental Conference organized by the AU Ghanaian Civil Society Coalition. A communique entitled “From a “grand debate” to grand actions for a united Africa” was adopted and will be presented to the Assembly of Heads of States. The communique states: “There is a clear consensus among us in favour of rapidly accelerating continental integration in order to respond to current and future economic, political and social challenges. Accordingly, we support the proposal for the establishment of a Union Government. We believe that the Union Government must be a People’s Union and must be built on values of participation and democracy in its construction and implementation at continental, regional and national level.” Communique full text: Final_Accra_CSO_communique_on_continental_governance.doc
