In order to realize this vision, the AU will have to take up specific challenges related to integration:
Weak links and bridges between the different resources of the continent
1. A shared vision of the future
2. Linking infrastructure (roads, air, railways, bridges,
telecommunications)
3. Meeting and exchange opportunities (university exchanges, networks
and associations, links with the diaspora…)
4. The ability to move easily
5. A common currency
