Agenda 2063 is the blueprint and master plan for transforming Africa into the global powerhouse of the future.

The African Games are a multi-disciplinary sports competition that was established by African Ministers of Sports in 1965 to promote the development of elite African athletes, Pan-Africanism and Cultural Exchanges among African Union Member States. They are held every four years, one year prior to the Olympic Games and involve young athletes from all the 55 African Union member states.
