Policy Analysis of AU Governance Frameworks

For this assignment I need a concise, evidence-based policy analysis that unpacks South Sudan’s obligations under key African Union instruments—the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance (with emphasis on its democratic governance clauses), the Constitutive Act of the AU, and the early-warning mandate of the Peace and Security Council.

The study should:
• Map each instrument’s relevant provisions to South Sudan’s current constitutional and institutional set-up.
• Identify compliance gaps and practical bottlenecks that hinder democratic governance.
• Offer actionable recommendations tailored to three primary audiences: government officials, civil society organizations and international observers engaged in preventive diplomacy.

Please ground your analysis in the latest AU decisions, country reports and academic literature, citing all sources clearly. A well-structured report of about 20 pages plus an executive summary will meet my needs, though I am open to a different length if you justify it. I will consider the work complete once the report presents the mapping table, a narrative analysis, and a set of prioritized policy options that speak directly to those three stakeholder groups.
