Africa with a Strong Cultural Identity, Common Heritage, Values and Ethics

Pan-Africanism and the common history, destiny, identity, heritage, respect for religious diversity and consciousness of African people’s and her diaspora’s will be entrenched.

We aspire

Pan-Africanism and the common history, destiny, identity, heritage, respect for religious diversity and consciousness of African people’s and her diaspora’s will be entrenched.

We aspire that by 2063:

  • Pan Africanism will be fully entrenched;
  • The African Renaissance has reached its peak; and
  • Our diversity in culture, heritage, languages and religion shall be a cause of strength, including the tangible and intangible heritage of Africa’s island states.

Pan-African ideals will be fully embedded in all school curricula and Pan-African cultural assets (heritage, folklore, languages, film, music, theatre, literature, festivals, religions and spirituality.) will be enhanced. The African creative arts and industries will be celebrated throughout the continent, as well as, in the diaspora and contribute significantly to self-awareness, well-being and prosperity, and to world culture and heritage. African languages will be the basis for administration and integration. African values of family, community, hard work, merit, mutual respect and social cohesion will be firmly entrenched.

Africa’s stolen culture, heritage and artefacts will be fully repatriated and safeguarded.

Culture, heritage and a common identity and destiny will be the centre of all our strategies so as to facilitate a Pan-African approach and the African Renaissance.

Africa’s women and youth shall play an important role as drivers of change. Inter-generational dialogue will ensure that Africa is a continent that adapts to social and cultural change.

Africa is a continent of people with religious and spiritual beliefs, which play a profound role in the construction of the African identity and social interaction.

The continent will continue to vehemently oppose all forms of politicization of religion and religious extremism.
