“The argument put forth in this paper is
that the critical challenge facing the AU is whether it can transform the extensive range
of principles, norms and values that it has adopted into practical policies which can be implemented. The proposition is that the institutionalisation of Pan-Africanism will only be achieved when the ideals that inform this movement begin to manifest as progressive policy prescriptions. In turn, these policy prescriptions have to lead to the implementation of programmes that will actually affect and improve the lives of Africans across the continent.”
