Africa's agenda 2063 to help address the continent's new growth challenges

Abstract

Amidst the new sense of optimism found in Africa’s new natural resources discoveries, rapid urbanisation and increased regional integration, the tripartite partnership of the African Development Bank (AfDB), African Union Commission (AUC) and Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), as well as the Regional Economic Commissions (RECs) are rallying round the need for a new vision. Dubbed ‘Agenda 2063’, the three institutions are in agreement, that this vision, crafted by the AU can be the pathway for addressing the challenges found in Africa’s new opportunities towards its sustainable growth.
