AU ECHO is the African Union’s Magazine. Published on an annual basis, this magazine provides a platform for the 55 AU Member States and African citizens to profile the successes of Africa and to impart knowledge and experiences borne from African led initiatives, based on the instruments and decisions of the African Union.   

Following the Call for Papers launched last year by the Magazine’s editors, we are once more pleased to announce that the Article of Daphne Tinomuda Gora, 7th batch of Master at PAUGHSS and currently doing internship at EAC Secretariat, was selected and published in the 2021 AU ECHO Magazine.

The said article which can be read at page 72 of the Magazine is entitled 

“The role of culture as an effective mechanism for Regional integration in Africa”. 

This contribution by a PAU student is worth commending as it is unprecedented. 

In addition, considering the high ranking readers of this Magazine including Heads of State, Ministers, senior policy makers, the selection process is merit-based, meaning that this student is brilliant.

Moreover, the ideas developed in her article could be used in the advancement of the AU Agenda.
We are very proud of her and encourage PAU Fellows to read this article which is in line with the AU theme for the year: “Arts, Culture and Heritage: levers for Building the Africa We Want”.

RECTORATE

The Rectorate is responsible for the daily management of the PAU and is headed by the Rector who is the Chief Executive Officer of the PAU.

At the Malabo Summit held in June 2015, African Heads of State and Government adopted Decision EX.CL/Dec.829 to host the Rectorate of the Panafrican University. Following this decision, a high level panel was set up by Decision EX.CL/Dec.829  (XXV) to designate the country that will host the PAU Rectorate. Considering the report by this panel, the Executive Council selected Cameroon as host country and recommended the designation of Cameroon by the Ordinary session of the African Union Assembly who endorsed the selection in January 2016.

The Pan African University is a flagship project of the African Union
