The African Union Development Agency-NEPAD (AUDA-NEPAD) has secured $58,000 in investment capital from investors. This funding round provides additional resources for the agency, which was established in June 2018 following a decision by the AU Assembly to transform the NEPAD Planning and Coordination Agency. AUDA-NEPAD's formation is an integral part of broader reforms aimed at enhancing the African Union’s overall impact and operational efficiency across the continent.

AUDA-NEPAD operates with a clear mandate to address Africa’s evolving needs through strategic priorities. For 2022, its focus is structured around three signature solutions. The first is Health, concentrating on building capacity within the pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors and improving access to essential healthcare services. The second priority is Economic growth and job creation, achieved through interventions designed to enhance infrastructure development, foster trade and markets, and promote productivity-enhancing innovations. Finally, the third solution targets Food systems, with the objective of increasing agricultural and food productivity to ensure comprehensive food and nutrition security across Africa.

The recently secured capital is intended to support AUDA-NEPAD's ongoing initiatives and operational enhancements within these critical areas. This investment underscores the continued commitment to fostering sustainable development across the African continent by providing targeted support for the agency's strategic objectives. The funds are expected to contribute to the agency's efforts in delivering on its mandate and strengthening its capacity to implement its programs effectively.

Looking ahead, AUDA-NEPAD remains focused on its mission to drive Africa's development agenda. The agency plans to leverage this investment to further its strategic priorities, aiming to achieve tangible progress in health, economic growth, and food security. This funding round is a step in reinforcing AUDA-NEPAD's ability to respond to the continent's challenges and pursue its long-term vision for a prosperous and integrated Africa.

Most growing businesses don't have a data problem. They have a coherence problem. Operational information lives in fragments - accounting in one tool, inventory in another, customer relationships in a third, communications spread across email and chat. Each system tells one slice of the story. None of them talk to each other. So operators reconcile by hand, build dashboards nobody reads, and react to whatever surfaces loudest instead of what actually matters. Tennsa OS is an always-on intelligence layer that sits across the systems a business already runs on - accounting, inventory, CRM, email, calendars, banking - and reads them as one. Every morning, it produces a briefing of what changed overnight, what's at risk, and what to act on first. When something needs investigating, one click opens a grounded conversation with the underlying data. The AI answers from real numbers and refuses to fabricate when data is missing. No hallucinations, no plausible-sounding fiction, only what the systems actually say. We integrate at source rather than centralising into a data warehouse - which means Tennsa delivers value within days of connection rather than after a multi-month data engineering effort. We're built in Cape Town, with first-class integrations for the South African stack (IQ Retail, Sage, Xero, PayFast, Yoco) and native compliance with the local regulatory environment (POPIA, data sovereignty). Just scalable, grounded intelligence that turns a business's existing systems into a single coherent operating picture. Backed by Google for Startups. 🌐 tennsa.com 📧 info@tennsa.com
