It demonstrates the vision, courage and foresight of African leaders. Its wide and comprehensive terms of reference are symptomatic of the psychological paradigm shift that has occurred insofar as achieving the political and socio-economic unification of Africa is concerned.  The desire to accelerate and fast track the process has become real and urgent.  By taking this historic step to undertake a systematic examination and self-assessment of the performance of the African Union, African leaders have reasserted their collective self-reliance and have, once again, concretised the claim of Africa to own the twenty-first century.\nThe Panel very much appreciates that it has been called upon to be part of this historic development.  In order to convince the sceptics that there is indeed a determination for Africa to own the twenty-first century, the recommendations that have emerged from this historic audit are intended to revamp the Organs and Institutions of the Union so as to foster African unity and fast-track the political and economic process.  The Panel, therefore, urges that they must be implemented fully and without delay.  The Panel has been left in no doubt that this is indeed the intention of the Union Assembly.  In this connection, the Panel sincerely hopes that its recommendation that the audit should from now on be undertaken every five years will be endorsed by the Assembly and implemented so that in 2012 another audit review will take place. By internalising periodic audit reviews, African leaders will show beyond doubt their conviction that the deliverance of Africa will not come from outside the continent but from within.\nThe idea that somehow Africa’s deliverance from political fragmentation, socio-economic underdevelopment, poverty and disease, etc, will come from outside the continent has become so ingrained in official and public discourse that the decision that this audit review should be undertaken has come as a surprise to many, in and outside Africa.  However, it has been widely welcomed by millions of the peoples of Africa because it portends a great future and a greater tomorrow. What remains now, in order that the sceptics and the cynics can be silenced permanently, is to embark immediately on the implementation of the recommendations.\nThe Panel strongly urges that the implementation should also be inclusive and engage all the actors at all levels -continental, regional and national.  By so doing, the ownership of the process would remain African.\nFinally, it is encouraging to note that, as stated in the Accra Declaration, there is a consensus that the ultimate objective of the African Union is the establishment of a Union Government.  To assist in the monitoring of the progress in the march towards unification, benchmarks have been provided. They will serve as both a radar of hope and the barometer of progress.\nWithout doubt, the tra","cbCaimsIwBFgG3Cr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimsIwBFgG3Cr","docx",427546,237,"English","# FOREWORD\n# TABLE OF CONTENTS\n## TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE AUDIT REVIEW\n## ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS\n## EXECUTIVE","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the High Level Panel in this AU audit review?\",\"answer\":\"The Panel conducts a systematic examination and self-assessment of the African Union’s performance as directed by the AU Assembly.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the audit recommendations aim to achieve?\",\"answer\":\"The recommendations are intended to revamp the AU’s organs and institutions to foster unity and fast-track the political and economic process.\"},{\"question\":\"How often should the audit review be undertaken, according to the Panel?\",\"answer\":\"The Panel recommends that the audit should be undertaken every five years so that another audit review takes place in 2012.\"}]","Audit of the African Union - THE HIGH LEVEL PANEL | DOCX",83]
