AFUR

AFUR is regarded as a key building block in the efforts of the African Union and its socio-economic programme, the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) in the integration and rebirth of Africa. AFUR's vision and objectives are derived from Clause 110 of the NEPAD Framework Document, which recognises the establishment of the African Forum for Utility Regulation and regional regulatory associations... AFUR focuses on issues associated with the regulation of energy, communications, water and sanitation, as well as transport when sufficient transport regulators would have been established. The forum emphasises issues that are common across sectors... AFUR operates as a formal association of African regulators, with its own constitution stipulating its objectives, functions and other operational requirements.
