The basis for the consultative relationship between the U.N. and NGOs is the original Charter of the United Nations. Article 71 says that the Economic and Social Council “may make suitable arrangements for consultation with non-governmental organizations which are concerned with matters within its competence.” NGOs contribute to the work of the U.N. by providing technical analysis and expertise, and their relationship with offices and agencies of the U.N. system differs depending on their goals.

In other to get a clear understanding of this partnership, we will take you through “The Constitutive Act of the African Union (AU Act)”, This act recognises in article 4(c) as one of its principles: 'participation of the people in the activities of the Union'. This principle could be implemented through, among others, the involvement of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the activities of the AU.
This act submits that NGOs will play a meaningful role in ensuring the promotion and protection of human rights by the AU and its institutions. The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) is an economic programme of the AU. The NEPAD document outlines among other things the promotion and protection of human rights as a necessary precondition for the success of NEPAD. Therefore, a lot of NGO input is needed for the effective implementation of NEPAD's human rights objective as well.
Therefore, lifting the unemployed youths, people with disabilities, retirees which also part of fundamental human rights remains a major concern of Global Support Foundation. And on this note partnering with the African Union because inevitable either now or in the near future.
