Foreword
This document represents the Third and Last Volume of the 2004-2007 Strategic Plan of the Commission of the African Union. After the Vision (Volume 1) and the Strategic Framework (Volume 2), it provides a detailed presentation of the Plan of Action which the Commission intends to implement by 2007.
This Plan of Action meets three major concerns:
-
Easy reading: The Plan of Action is not intended to be a mere inventory of actions. Rather, it should constitute a clear and coherent whole, easily understood and digestible by Africans. This should be so because the actions contained in the Plan respond to the day-to-day concerns of the peoples of Africa. For this reason, the Commission has devoted its best energies to craft programmes that would serve as a platform for it to fulfil all its missions and, at the same time, produce enough visible and positive effect. This document therefore, translates the Vision into concrete actions. It also represents a long-term framework which would enable the Commission to focus on key results of the envisaged actions to be implemented by the year 2007.
-
Action geared to every day life: This Plan of Action presents a clear-cut activities programme. Apart from the objectives of each programme area, the major events to be undertaken, together with their dates have also been clearly identified for the lifetime of the Plan of Action, that is, 2004-2007. Similarly, and as far as possible, the venues of the various activities have been indicated. These events, dates and venues, which for the most part, have been drawn from Member States’ suggestions, are however only proposals, and are therefore open for further discussion.
-
Educational: The overall Plan of Action of the Commission has been presented in this Volume in the form of individual action sheets, each containing details of the respective programmes. Reading is thus sim plified, while the Table of Contents facilitates identification of the location of each programme area in the document.
Consequently, this Volume 3 of the 2004-2007 Strategic Plan provides all the Departments of the Commission, the key players as well as AU partners, a comprehensive and rich picture of the activities, which the AU Commission plans to carry out by the year 2007.
