African Union of Conservationists (AUC) is a new pan African conservation and advocacy organization established to be the biggest Union of Conservationists to champion conservation mainly focused on development integration and their effects to Africa with a special emphasis currently on information sharing and research in fragile ecosystems of African region. AUC was born of the desire to contribute to the surprising sadden growing drastic rapid environmental changes by bringing in actual experiences from African governments, ministries, institutions, departments academics and researchers through researching and documenting the effects potential or actual of development challenges in Africa. It is an independent nongovernment organization and mandated to work and promote contemporary conservation activities, facilitate joint work with local NGOs, CBOs, CSOs, local authorities, governments among its members. The headquarters are located in Uganda but rapidly spreading through NGOs in other parts of the continent. The current plan of the Union programmatic work is that for the coming period there is need to:
• Ensure that the Union provides value for conservation of member organizations, states; and governments in Africa
• Demonstrate that the Union is having an impact in its work with members and chapters and networks
AUC anticipates that once we involve in the UN partnerships a lot of opportunities that will contribute towards organizational development will be explored and hence growth. Through this is a linkage to help our wider growing membership to understanding and benefiting their individual organizations among most issues related with development. |
