The African Union (AU) is a Pan African continental body consisting of 55 African countries and is charged with spearheading Africa’s socio-economic growth through integration, inclusion and sustainable development by promoting unity, solidarity, cohesion and cooperation among the peoples of Africa and African States.

The vision of the African Union is that of "An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena". This vision is elaborated in Agenda 2063, Africa’s shared strategic framework for inclusive growth and development and which aims to harness and optimise the use of Africa’s resources for the benefits of all Africans to realise the 7 continental Aspirations of the African people that will ensure we transform and have the Africa we want by the year 2063.

The AU Diaries and Calendars are key corporate communication material of the African Union Commission that are used to create awareness on ongoing AU activities, build associations with key stakeholders to gain support for AU policy programmes thus attaining increased corporate visibility. These promotional materials carry the AU Logo, colours and theme of the year, message of the Chairperson and key messages of Agenda 2063.

The African Union Commission invites companies that are registered and operating as business entities within Member States of the AU to submit their proposals for the printing of AU DIARIES AND CALENDAR 2021 on a Framework Contract Basis for two years. Companies must have extensive experience in producing high quality print publications with the ability to deliver printed material within stated delivery timelines.
