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.

The main purpose of this document is to advocate and sensitize Africa’s Leaders about the essential role that Intra-African Trade can play in facilitating and sustaining Food and Nutrition Security and consequently the socio-economic development of the continent, in light of the upcoming African Food and Nutrition Security Day (AFNSD). It details the rich background of continental nutrition policies, plans and programmes and emphasizes the interrelationships between Trade and Food and Nutrition Security as well as successes accomplished through boosting Trade.
The concept note describes plans for the continental commemoration of the African Food and Nutrition Security Day (AFNSD) with this year’s theme being “Investing in Intra- African Trade for Food and Nutrition Security”.
