Agenda 2063 is the blueprint and master plan for transforming Africa into the global powerhouse of the future. It is the strategic framework for delivering on Africa’s goal for inclusive and sustainable development and is a concrete manifestation of the pan-African drive for unity, self-determination, freedom, progress and collective prosperity pursued under Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance.
H.E. Mr. Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda, was appointed to lead the AU institutional reforms process. He appointed a pan-African committee of experts to review and submit proposals for a system of governance for the AU that would ensure the organisation was better placed to address the challenges facing the continent with the aim of implementing programmes that have the highest impact on Africa’s growth and development so as to deliver on the vision of Agenda 2063.
The AU offers exciting opportunities to get involved in determining continental policies and implementing development programmes that impact the lives of African citizens everywhere. Find out more by visiting the links on right.
SEPTEMBER IS AFRICA AMNESTY MONTH
The month of September, of each year till 2020, was declared as “Africa Amnesty Month” for the surrender and collection of illegally owned weapons/arms.
The scourge of illegal weapons / arms, their illicit proliferation and use in various parts of Africa, cause countless deaths, untold suffering, population displacement, disruption of livelihoods, destruction of infrastructure and disruption of economic activities, which all combine to undermine efforts to realise the goal of creating a conflict-free, integrated and prosperous Africa, as envisioned in Agenda 2063
What does Amnesty mean:
ASPIRATION 4
A Peaceful & Secure Africa
