Agenda 2063: Launch of 2nd Decade of Acceleration
The launch of the Second 10-Year Implementation Plan of Agenda 2063, also dubbed as the decade of acceleration (2024-2033), is a historic milestone for the African Union, its Member States, and all African citizens. It marks the beginning of the second decade of a collective effort to realise the vision of a prosperous, peaceful, and integrated Africa by 2063. The Second 10-Year Implementation Plan of Agenda 2063 is a bold and ambitious roadmap for Africa's transformation. It is a manifestation of the collective will and determination of the African people to shape their destinity. It is a reaffirmation of the African dream of unity, dignity, and prosperity for all.
The plan outlines seven moonshots of how the continent aims to achieve key priorities, goals and targets to achieve in the next 10 years. By 2033, Africa wants to be prosperous, integrated, democratic, peaceful, cultured, people-driven and influential.
The plan also identifies flagship projects that will have a high impact, such as the African Continental Free Trade Area, the African Passport, the Grand Inga Dam, the Single African Air Transport Market, the African Virtual University, the Pan-African E-Network, and the African Outer Space Strategy. These projects will enhance regional integration, economic diversification, innovation, and competitiveness, as well as social inclusion and cohesion.
The launch of the plan is a call to action for all stakeholders to join hands and work together to make Agenda 2063 a reality. The success of the plan depends on the ownership, commitment, and participation of all Africans, including governments, regional economic communities, civil society organizations, the private sector, academia, media, and the diaspora.
The plan also requires effective coordination, monitoring, and evaluation mechanisms to ensure accountability and transparency. The African Union Commission together with AUDA-NEPAD will play a leading role in facilitating and supporting the implementation of the plan at all levels.
