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.

Ninth Session of the Africa Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and the Eighth High-Level Meeting on Disaster Risk Reduction.
On November 20th, 2024, Africa will commemorate the 35th anniversary of Africa Industrialization Day (AID). Established in 1989, this day serves as a critical platform to acknowledge the continent's progress in industrial development while addressing the ongoing challenges it faces.
The African Union Commission (AUC) achieved a significant milestone in continental disaster risk reduction efforts by convening the inaugural Africa Multi-hazard Early Warning and Early Action System (AMHEWAS) Steering Committee and Technical Working Group meetings in Windhoek on 24–28 July 2023. These critical sessions marked a substantial step towards disaster preparedness and building resilience to climate-related and multi-hazards across Africa.
