OUR FOCUS
#TheAfricaWeWant
African leaders made a powerful commitment when they adopted Agenda 2063 at the
24th African Union Assembly held in January 2015, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. They laid down
a vision and action plan for the social and economic transformation of the continent over the
next 50 years - The Africa We Want.
Agenda 2063 builds on, and seeks to accelerate the implementation of past and existing continental
initiatives for growth and sustainable development.
