Achieving Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment is considered a critical success factor towards realizing Agenda 2063. To achieve this, in 2019, the Women, Gender and Development Directorate (WGDD), which has now moved to the Women, Gender and Youth Directorate (WGYD) established the African Union Gender Observatory (AUGO), which is an Online Knowledge Management Platform (OKPM).
