Ghana to Host 27th Extraordinary Session of AU Executive Council on Financing the Union
The Government of the Republic of Ghana, under the distinguished patronage of President John Dramani Mahama, in collaboration with the African Union Commission, will host the 27th Extraordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union Dedicated to Financing the Union on 13th November 2026, from 9:00 a.m. at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
The financing of the African Union remains a central component of the ongoing institutional reform process aimed at strengthening the Union’s financial independence, accountability and capacity to implement its continental priorities.
In this regard, H.E. Dr William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and African Union Champion for Institutional Reform, has been leading efforts to advance reforms aimed at strengthening the Union’s financial sustainability, reducing dependence on external financing and ensuring predictable funding for its programmes and peace support operations.
The Summit will bring together African Union Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Finance, African Union Commission leadership, AU organs and institutions, Regional Economic Communities and Regional Mechanisms leadership, AU Special Envoys and High-Level Panels, UN and international partners, and other stakeholders.
The Opening Session will be livestreamed.
