Kumbukumbu ya historia na heshima ya uongozi wa Afrika.
Dr. Salim aliiongoza OAU kwa miaka 12 (vipindi vitatu) akiwa ndie katibu mkuu aliyeongoza kwa muda mrefu zaidi.
Wakati anamaliza kipindi chake alifanikiwa kuongoza mabadiliko kutoka OAU kwenda AU.
Makala hii ya mwaka 2001 ndani ya gazeti la Uhuru iliandikwa baada ya Dr. Salim kuitwa Ikulu na Rais Mkapa kwa ajili ya pongezi.
In Johannesburg, the APRM met with the China Mission to the AU to advance cooperation on e-Governance and AI capacity building. Discussions focused on strengthening Africaโs digital governance, innovation, and institutional capacity.
APWLD invites grassroots womenโs rights organisations and movements to apply for the 2026-2027 #ClimateJustice Feminist Participatory Action Research (#FPAR) on resisting imperialism, extractivism and false #blueeconomy solutions.

Only 1 in 5 rural schools has teachers who understand the education data systems they're required to use daily.
Teachers are Googling their way through complex EMIS systems meant to track student progress. No formal training. No support.
How can we improve education without proper data?
