Regional Office

The Regional Office for Africa in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), established on 18 June 1992, represents the Union in Africa and provides assistance to the 44 Member States in the region. Its Area Offices in Dakar (Senegal), Harare (Zimbabwe) and Yaoundé (Cameroon) provide support and assistance for their respective geographical zone.

Enabling and accelerating digital transformation is at the heart of the work on the continent.
