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.
ECOSOCC Statement condemning terrorist attack in Tunisia
29 June 2015
The African Union’s Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attack on the coastal city of Sousse in Tunisia, on Friday, 26 June 2015 resulting in the death of at least 38 people and wounding at least 39 others.
On behalf of ECOSOCC, I express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of this heinous act and to the Government of Tunisia and other relevant Governments who have lost their citizens in this attack.
We mourn with Tunisia and stand behind our close friend in this dark time
Although the suspected culprit was killed, ECOSOCC emphasizes the urgency to bring perpetrators, organizers and financiers of this reprehensible act of terrorism to justice, and urged all African and Non-African States to cooperate swiftly and actively with the Tunisian authorities in this regard.
Tunisia is a success story in establishing democratic rule. No terrorist attack can reverse its path in consolidation of democratic gains or in the efforts directed towards economic recovery and development.
Terrorists have declared war on African people and their shared values of peace, freedom, democracy and human rights.
African civil society will not sit on the side-lines as this ruthless terrorist group unleashes pointless violence on innocent civilians in Africa. We stand with our governments as they continue to protect our citizens, support the continental efforts to defeat the terrorist threat, and stand shoulder to shoulder with progressive nations in defiance of these horrible acts.
Mr. Joseph Chilengi,
ECOSOCC Presiding Officer
