  "summary": "Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi have backed a new financing framework to reduce the African Union's (AU) reliance on external donors and strengthen its financial independence. The proposed Option C framework, endorsed by Mudavadi during an Extraordinary Session of the African Union Executive Council and Ministers of Finance in Accra, Ghana, aims to make the AU financially sustainable and improve accountability in the use of its resources. The framework prioritizes high-impact programmes, consolidates budget planning, strengthens domestic resource mobilisation, and improves institutional efficiency. Kenya's support for the framework comes amid renewed efforts to implement previous continental commitments, including the Johannesburg Decision 578 and Kigali Decision 605, which sought to increase member states' contributions towards financing the African Union.",
