Since independence, the imperative of regional integration has been central to the political and economic vision of Africa’s leadership. Kwame Nkruamh, Julius Nyerere and Sekou Toure were all desirous for Africa to be a single country, The United States of Africa, but the majority of leaders preferred the idea of sub-regional groupings, which would, in time, coalesce into a united Africa. The phenomenon of globalisation has re-ignited the pan-African vision. Challenges that call for a regional approach include food insecurity, infrastructure, energy, climate change, communicable diseases, R&D and innovation as well as the need for strategic industrial policy, conflict resolution, demographic pressures and migration.
