The African Union Democracy And Elections Assistance Unit (DEAU) |
|
The Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), at its 38th Ordinary Session held in Durban, South Africa in 2002, approved a Declaration on the Principles Governing Democratic Elections in Africa. The Declaration underlined the need to strengthen the Organisation’s efforts in advancing the democratization process in Africa in view of its ever-growing role in monitoring and observation of elections. In response to this Declaration, the Council of Ministers meeting in Durban in July 2002, adopted a decision EX.CL/Dec.300 (IX) “to set up a Democracy and Electoral Assistance Unit within the Political Affairs Department of the African Union Commission”.
In support of the Council of Minister’s decision to set up a new administrative unit for democracy and elections; the Assembly of Heads of State and Government in the interim requested the Secretary General of the AU to undertake a feasibility study on the establishment of a Unit, within the general secretariat. The feasibility study was conducted by the Commission in April 2006, which broadly defined the Unit’s mandates and objectives concerning the relevant electoral processes, as well as its operational and organizational structures. The recommendations and findings of the study were subsequently submitted for validation to a Meeting of Independent Experts held in Addis Ababa on the 4th of May 2006. This was followed by the Executive Council decision adopted in Banjul 2006, which approved the setting up of the Democracy and Electoral Assistance Unit (DEAU).
