L'Agenda 2063 est le plan directeur et le plan directeur pour faire de l'Afrique la locomotive mondiale de l'avenir. C'est le cadre stratégique pour la réalisation de l'objectif de développement inclusif et durable de l'Afrique et une manifestation concrète de la volonté panafricaine d'unité, d'autodétermination, de liberté, de progrès et de prospérité collective poursuivie par le panafricanisme et la Renaissance africaine.

Africa has progressive normative frameworks that guarantee gender equality in social, economic and political affairs. Through years of activism and legal reforms, many countries are seeing progress in terms of women’s rights and status in societies. However, the continent still lags behind in realising the goals set in various continental legal frameworks including the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, (Maputo Protocol) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child resulting in the rights of women and girls not being upheld and their full contribution to society being hampered by amongst others, underlying structural inequalities that perpetuate harmful cultural practices, negative social norms and lack of bodily autonomy.
As part of the efforts to turn the tide, the African Union launched a campaign to rally more action to the commitments on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment. The “What African Women Want” campaign launched on International Women’s Day on 8th March 2022, is intended to popularise and advocate for the speedy and full implementation of the African Union Strategy for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (2018-2028); as well as advocate for the implementation of programmes earmarked as part of the African Women’s Decade of Women’s Financial and Economic Inclusion (2020-2030); at the national, regional, continental and global levels for women to realise, enjoy and benefit from their rights and expand the spaces for empowerment.
In recent years, progress has been recorded as African governments, public and private institutions implement gender-responsive actions, and as African women, through resilience and commitment, advance their quest to break the societal barriers and glass ceiling. In a push to make gender issues more visible, the “What African Women Want” campaign seeks to highlight key issues still faced by women in their pursuit of parity and equity, and provides actionable recommendations to address the existing and emerging challenges.
The campaign aligns to Aspiration six of Agenda 2063 which advocates for “An Africa, whose development is people-driven, relying on the potential of African people, especially its women and youth, and caring for children”. This calls for the empowerment of African women in all spheres, with equal social, political and economic rights.
The “What African Women Want” campaign advocates for, among others;
The campaign is also an opportunity for people across the continent and in the diaspora to engage and share success stories, testimonials or best practices on what has worked and projects that are advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. Such contributions can be shared as an article or video and all materials will be vetted to establish suitability for posting on AU platforms.
