Report of the Committee of Experts

Abstract

Agenda 2063 sought to harness the continent’s competitive advantages to eradicate poverty, while establishing enduring peace and stability and empowering women and young people. The initiative had been developed through wide consultations with stakeholders in various sectors on the continent. Agenda 2063 comprised a framework document and its popular version, which had been adopted by the Assembly of the African Union in January 2015, together with its first 10-year implementation plan, which was being developed for presentation to policy organs in June 2015. The implementation plan was built on seven aspirations shaped by the consultations and the technical studies that had been conducted. There were goals and priority areas for each aspiration to facilitate integration into the existing frameworks.
