Appendix Ⅲ U.S. Foreign Assistance Request: Africa: African Union

摘要

U.S. foreign assistance to the African Union (AU) focuses on support to the AU's diplomatic and non-military approaches to preventing, managing, and resolving conflict throughout the continent. It recognizes the importance of governance and development issues in the dynamics of both conflict and peace building in Africa. In FY 2011, U.S. assistance will support the AU's long term goal of building capacity to promote free, fair, and transparent elections and to promote effective, equitable, transparent, and accountable governance. The approach of the U.S. Mission to the African Union (USAU) is to assist the AU to strengthen its institutional capacity to undertake greater leadership on these issues in Africa.
