The African Border Day is an annual event celebrated on 7 June to promote peace, cross-border cooperation and regional and continental integration in Africa.[1]

History

[edit]

The African Border Day was launched as part of the African Union Border Programme (AUBP) to strengthen conflict prevention mechanisms amongst African states.[2]

The first African Border Day celebration was held in 2011 at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.[3]
