Africa at the UN: Voice or Leverage?

As leaders gather in New York for the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Africa is central to debates on peace, security, climate, and governance. In this episode of Into Africa, host Oay Onborg speaks with Betana Tadas of the International Peace Institute about what to watch as UNGA unfolds, prospects for UN reform, and Africa’s role in shaping the international agenda.

They discuss whether Africa’s louder voice is gaining the leverage needed to shape outcomes, touching on challenges like funding cuts, fragmented mediation efforts, and great-power competition.
