The United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU), located in Addis Ababa, was established in General Assembly resolution 64/288 to strengthen coordination and cooperation with the African Union.

UNOAU was formed from the merger of what were previously four standalone entities in Addis Ababa[1], namely:

  • United Nations Liaison Office
  • African Union Peace and Support Team
  • United Nations Planning Team for the African Union Mission in Somalia
  • The administrative functions of the Joint Support and Coordination Mechanism of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID)

UNOAU is headed by Special Representative of the Secretary-General, at the level of Under-Secretary-General. The current structure of the Office was approved by the General Assembly in its resolution 71/270 following a review of the Office and its functioning completed in 2016[2].
