The present report contains a summary of the support of the United Nations system agencies working in Africa extended to the African Union and its New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), which is transitioning to the African Union Development Agency, for the period April 2018–January 2019. It covers support for the implementation of African Union priorities at regional and sub regional levels, including those articulated in the African Union agenda 2063 and the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. In that context, the report contains an overview of the assistance provided through the Regional Coordination Mechanism for Africa (RCM-Africa) within the framework of the renewed United Nations-African Union Partnership on Africa’s Integration and Development Agenda (PAIDA). It also provides an overview of Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) support to the implementation of the African Peer Review Mechanism, and selected African Union decisions pertaining to the infrastructure program of the African Union Development Agency.
