The African Union's 15th Summit kicks off this coming Monday the 19th of July. It's being held in Kampala, Uganda. Similar to the G8 summit a few weeks ago, this year's theme will be "Maternal, Infant and Child Health and Development in Africa". You might have noticed that maternal and child health are a passion of mine, but I'm writing about this today not only because of that, but because this is a great opportunity for us to look at Africa's united body of leadership. With the first World Cup hosted in Africa successfully completed, this is Africa's next chance to show the world that we too are capable of great things. Unfortunately there isn't much information about the summit on the AU website at the moment, but keep checking back here if you're interested - I'll be adding more details as I find them.
Update
There is a little information here, on the African Development Bank Group website. You can also have a look at the schedule for the summit here.
