Africa Day is the annual commemoration of the foundation of the African Union, which took place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 25th May, 1963. It is celebrated around the world and is an opportunity to appreciate and mark the African continent’s diverse cultures, history and heritage. At home, Africa Day represents an opportunity to acknowledge a diverse and important group of people in our community who enrich and make a valuable contribution to Irish society. Since 2006, Irish Aid at the Department of Foreign Affairs has supported events to mark Africa Day in Ireland. According to the 2016 census, Ireland was home to people from 50 African countries. The positive impact and influence of Ireland’s African communities is evidenced across many aspects of Irish life, not least the worlds of art and culture, music, literature, sport, business, food and community development.
