There are 53 nations. I'm not sure how you define regions but the member nations cover the vast majority of the continent. Some countries contribute more than others and the Headquarters is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I'm sure there's plenty of information on their website if you need to know more about them.

- Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD)
- Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)
- Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
- East African Community (EAC)
- Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS)
- Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)
- Southern African Development Community (SADC)
