What is Agenda 2063?
Agenda 2063 is Africa's 50-year strategic blueprint, running from 2013 to 2063, for achieving an integrated, prosperous and peaceful continent. Formally titled "The Africa We Want," it is both a concrete expression of Pan-Africanism and a practical roadmap for Africa's Renaissance, a commitment by all 55 African Union member states to transform shared aspirations into measurable outcomes over five successive ten-year implementation plans.
At its heart, Agenda 2063 answers a single question: What kind of Africa do we want to see in the year 2063, the centenary of the Organisation of African Unity? It was built through an inclusive, people-driven consultation process, gathering the voices of citizens, civil society, the private sector, academia, women's organisations and youth networks across the continent.
The Seven Aspirations
Agenda 2063 is anchored on seven aspirations that together describe the continent Africa's leaders and people have committed to building:
- A prosperous Africa based on inclusive growth and sustainable development.
- An integrated continent, politically united, based on the ideals of Pan-Africanism and the vision of Africa's Renaissance.
- An Africa of good governance, democracy, respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law.
- A peaceful and secure Africa.
- An Africa with a strong cultural identity, common heritage, shared values and ethics.
- An Africa whose development is people-driven, relying on the potential of African people, especially women and youth, and caring for children.
- Africa as a strong, united, resilient and influential global player and partner.
Each aspiration is translated into concrete goals, 20 in total, each with quantitative targets and associated indicators tracked through the continental monitoring and evaluation framework.
