During the period under review, AUDA-NEPAD and the AUC developed an evidence-based methodology to guide AU Member States and RECs to prepare their second progress reports on Agenda 2063. The methodology encompasses a set of tools and templates for data entry, analysis and standardised reporting based on the goals and targets in Agenda 2063’s First Ten-Year Implementation Plan. Furthermore, a data analytics dashboard on the performance against goals and strategic priorities was developed.

Following the launch of the first Continental Progress Report on Agenda 2063 Implementation at the AU Summit in 2020, the second progress report is an empirical assessment of country-level performance reports submitted by 38 AU Member States. The report reveals the progress made in attaining the goals and targets outlined in Agenda 2063’s First Ten-Year Implementation Plan. It also highlights emerging results from investments made to spur socio-economic development in prioritised areas of National and Regional Development Plans.

The report features select good practices, case studies and recommendations made by Member States to upscale the implementation of Agenda 2063. In addition, continental, regional and national performance was assessed in the context of the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, an Agenda 2063 Community of Practice (CoP) was developed and is now operational, serving as a helpdesk and a platform for peer learning among AU Member States. The Agency also developed and operationalised the Agenda 2063 Knowledge and Accelerator Hub. The Hub serves as a data repository and key reference point for understanding the development needs of AU Member States in implementing Agenda 2063 and their respective National Development Plans.

The second Continental Progress Report on Agenda 2063 Implementation will be launched at the 35th AU Summit by H.E. Alassane Ouattara, President of Côte d’Ivoire and AU Champion of Agenda 2063.
