          Howard University in collaboration with the African Union Mission in Washington, D.C. sponsors an annual simulation of the African Union, the regional organization of African states, in the form of an International Model African Union Conference. Celebrating forty-one years of simulation of the OAU and now AU, the 20th Annual International Model African Union Conference will be held February 25, 26 and 27, 2022.

          The International Model African Union provides a unique opportunity for university and college students to study the role, structure and activities of the African Union as well as the capabilities and constraints that shape the policies of member states toward the economic, social, and political-security issues facing African countries.

          Because of health and safety concerns related to the Covid19 pandemic, the 2022 simulation will be virtual.

          Each participating university represents one or more Member State of the African Union. Preparatory material will be available online. 

          Country assignments are now being made for the 2022 Conference. For available country assignments, and registration and other information please contact:
