Abstract: 

The African Union has introduced the concept of 'Shared Values' to tackle some of the precarious problems the continent is facing in the areas of peace and security, democracy, good governance, human rights as well as in the development sector. Several organs were constituted within the AU structure to deal with the various areas of the program in order to achieve its goals. Although from the surface the project seems to involve only what the various member nations of the AU may share as values, at another level it shows heavy Western involvement whose agenda the AU and African leaders seem not to emphasize.
