Care to Change the World

Introduction Agenda 2063

Agenda 2063 is Africa’s bold, long-term strategy for achieving sustainable growth, unity, and global influence by the year 2063. Developed by the African Union, this visionary framework lays out the path for a prosperous, integrated, and self-reliant Africa. It reflects the shared aspirations of African nations, prioritizing economic growth, environmental stewardship, and inclusive development driven by the talents and energy of Africa’s people. At the core of Agenda 2063 are Seven Aspirations, which define Africa’s highest ideals and guide each phase of its journey toward a brighter future.

Seven Aspirations

These Seven Aspirations capture Africa’s vision for itself, expressing a continent’s desire for lasting economic prosperity, regional unity, enduring peace, deep cultural pride, and meaningful influence on the global stage. Together, they paint a picture of a self-reliant Africa, where inclusive growth uplifts every citizen, where nations work together as partners, and where communities are resilient and secure. The Aspirations reflect a vision where Africa’s rich heritage and values are preserved, its diverse cultures are celebrated, and its people are empowered to drive their own development. By aligning with these ideals, Agenda 2063 sets Africa on a path to becoming a powerful, respected partner in the global community, with a strong voice and a unique, valuable perspective.

A Prosperous Africa based on Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development

Africa envisions a future where all citizens benefit from economic growth that is both inclusive and sustainable. This aspiration prioritizes equitable access to resources, ensuring that development lifts up every individual and protects Africa’s rich biodiversity for future generations. From poverty eradication to sustainable agriculture, this vision aims to build a continent where prosperity is shared and the environment is respected as a cornerstone of growth.

An Integrated Continent, Politically United and based on the ideals of Pan-Africanism

Agenda 2063 seeks an Africa that is united in purpose and identity, with strong ties across regions that promote political, social, and economic integration. Drawing on the ideals of Pan-Africanism, this aspiration imagines a continent where borders are bridged through collaboration, regional trade thrives, and African unity drives progress. By strengthening regional partnerships and fostering a shared sense of identity, this goal empowers Africa to achieve its collective potential.

An Africa of Good Governance, Democracy, Respect for Human Rights, Justice, and the Rule of Law

This aspiration envisions an Africa where governance is transparent, democracy is upheld, and justice is accessible to all. Through strong institutions and respect for human rights, Agenda 2063 aims to create a continent where individuals feel protected, empowered, and confident in their leaders. By fostering accountability, reducing corruption, and prioritizing ethical governance, Africa seeks to build trust between governments and communities, ensuring that every citizen’s voice is heard and respected.

A Peaceful and Secure Africa

Agenda 2063 envisions a continent where peace prevails and security is guaranteed for all citizens. This aspiration recognizes that stability is essential for progress, aiming to resolve conflicts, promote reconciliation, and build harmonious communities. With a focus on conflict prevention, crisis management, and community resilience, Africa strives to create a future where people can live without fear and invest confidently in their communities. Peace and security provide the foundation for sustainable development, enabling Africa’s potential to flourish.

Africa with a Strong Cultural Identity, Common Heritage, Values, and Ethics

Recognizing the power of a shared cultural identity, this aspiration celebrates Africa’s diversity and heritage while fostering unity and pride across its nations. Agenda 2063 envisions an Africa that values its languages, traditions, and artistic expressions, passing down a rich cultural legacy to future generations. This aspiration seeks to preserve Africa’s cultural wealth and ensure that its shared values guide development, creating a society that respects its past while building a resilient future.

An Africa Whose Development is People-Driven, especially relying on the potential of women and youth

At the heart of Africa’s vision is a commitment to people-driven development, empowering citizens to lead the continent’s progress. This aspiration emphasizes the essential role of women and youth, harnessing their talents, creativity, and resilience to drive change. By ensuring equal opportunities and removing barriers to participation, Agenda 2063 builds an Africa where all citizens, especially the young and marginalized, have the chance to shape their future and contribute to the continent’s growth.

Africa as a Strong, United, and Influential Global Player and Partner

This aspiration envisions an Africa that is a respected, influential force on the global stage, capable of contributing meaningfully to global challenges and opportunities. Through strategic partnerships and active engagement, Agenda 2063 aims to strengthen Africa’s voice in international forums, advocating for fair representation and collaboration. By uniting its resources and expertise, Africa positions itself as a valuable global partner, ready to lead with its own solutions and make a positive impact worldwide.
