NATO African Union cooperation

Since June 2005, NATO has provided a wide array of support to the African Union (AU). NATO aims to support, within its means and capabilities, the AU to build up its security architecture in accordance with AU requirements.

Additionally, it is considered that, NATO's enhanced support to the AU and the strengthening of NATO - AU relations has clear synergies with its current, and potential long-term, role in counter piracy operations off the Horn of Africa.
