What is Africa Day?

Africa Day, celebrated annually on May 25, marks the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, now the African Union (AU). The OAU, which was later succeeded by the African Union (AU) in 2002, was established to promote unity, solidarity, and cooperation among African nations as they sought to overcome the legacy of colonialism and apartheid.

Africa Day is an opportunity to honor Africa’s resilience, cultural diversity, and global contributions. It also highlights key issues such as economic growth, social justice, human rights, and regional integration, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to achieve sustainable development.
