Challenges Facing the African Union

Wherever there are achievements, there are challenges. What is needed is to have various strategies for solving or minimizing those challenges. Some of the challenges facing the African Union include:

1. Economic dependence: Loans and aid from imperialist countries negatively affect the organization.
2. Food shortage, which causes famine and deaths of Africans almost every year.
3. Poor infrastructures, which affect economic growth in many member countries.
4. High levels of poverty in Africa.
5. Civil wars, which lead to famine, refugees, and deaths.
6. Shortage of funds to run the Union.
7. Environmental degradation, caused by climate change and unplanned human activities such as deforestation and unauthorized burning of vegetation.
