“…Few studies, however, explore the role of regional organizations in the governance of the SDGs (Kapfudzaruwa et al, 2017;Karlsson & Silander, 2020;Mickler & Wachira, 2020). Karlsson and Silander, for example, focus on the role of political entrepreneurship within the EU on the implementation of each SDG goal.…”

“…These studies, however, focus more on policy recommendations for specific SDGs rather than providing an in-depth analysis. A study by Mickler and Wachira (2020) explores the role of the African Union (AU) through its African Governance Architecture (AGA) in the implementation of SDG 16. The study identifies a role of the AU AGA in the goal-setting process and in the implementation of the SDGs.…”

This paper analyzes the current role of regional organizations in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We construct a conceptual model and distinguish four potential roles that regional organizations can play in the implementation of the SDGs: the translating role, supporting role, coordinating role and monitoring role. We apply this framework to the European Union and ASEAN. The case studies are analyzed on the basis of document analysis from primary and secondary sources, voluntary national reviews and interviews. We show that regional organizations play different roles in the implementation of the SDGs.

“…We use the African Union's (AU) African Governance Architecture (AGA)a set of AU agencies, principles and processes brought together over the past decade and claiming to both delineate a democratic governance agenda premised on pan-African Shared Values and to legitimate wider participation in that agendaas a window through which we can view contemporary appeals, contests and outcomes. The article also contributes to the relatively limited and nascent scholarship on AGA itself (see Udozike, 2010;Engel, 2013;Wachira, 2015;Matlosa, 2018;Mickler and Wachira, 2019).…”

This article examines how contending appeals to pan-Africanism have been central to the (de)legitimation processes that have shaped the trajectory of African regional governance. Such appeals have been used variously to construct and contest the scale, pace and norms constituting continental integration, including its modes of participation. The African Union (AU) remains a site of contestation over the internal legitimation of competing pan-African agendas as well as external legitimation in the face of interested global forces. We draw on relevant scholarly works, policy documents and interviews with AU practitioners to examine the AU's African Governance Architecture as a set of continental agencies, principles and processes claiming to promote a democratic governance agenda premised on pan-African Shared Values and wider participation. We demonstrate how the particular functioning of several nascent participatory innovations under AGA reflects ongoing contestation over the form and function of African regional governance.
