Background:
Norway and the African Union have a long-standing partnership. In 2015, the strategic partnership was formalized when the two partners entered into a Memorandum of Understanding. In 2018, the partners deepened their cooperation and entered into a framework agreement in the areas of i) peace and security, ii) democracy and governance, iii) sustainable development and job creation, and iv) institutional capacity building.
The Permanent Mission of Norway to the African Union was established in Addis Abeba on 1 October 2018.
The cooperation between Norway and the AU currently extends to several key policy areas, including peace and security, election support and observation, democratic governance and human rights, women, peace and security, education for women and children, the blue economy, economic integration, the UN-AU partnership, conflict prevention, and civilian capacities in peace support operations.
Norway is a consistent partner that strongly supports Africa’s own Agenda 2063. The vision of “an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena” is in our common interest, for a common future.
