Africa Day is celebrated annually on May 25 to commemorate the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, which later evolved into the African Union (AU). The observance highlights the continent’s progress in unity, integration, development, and cooperation among African nations. In 2026, the African Union marked the 63rd anniversary of this historic occasion with celebrations held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The event featured cultural programs, innovation initiatives, participation from member states, regional organisations, and international partners. Africa Day serves as an opportunity to reflect on Africa’s achievements and its vision for sustainable development under Agenda 2063.
