NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency

This video works to explain the basis, mandate and function of the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency.

NEPAD has strengthened its programme by transforming its secretariat into a more focused implementation agency, namely the NEPAD Agency.

This development is the result of NEPAD's integration into the structures and processes of the African Union (AU) as per the AU Assembly decision at the February 2010 14th AU Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. 

Designated as the technical body of the African Union, the core mandate of the NEPAD Agency is to facilitate and coordinate the implementation of regional and continental priority programmes and projects and to push for partnerships, resource mobilisation and research and knowledge management.
