AFRICAN UNION AGENDA 2063 Capacity Requirements for the New African Vision Agenda 2063 —“The Africa We Want”

The African Union Commission’s highlighting of the importance of capacity dimensions for Agenda 2063 has been one of the missing links in previous development efforts. This time, implementation will be from a proper understanding of the capacity requirements (as encapsulated in this study produced by the African Capacity Building Foundation). This study provides a conceptual and operational framing of imperatives and capacity issues required for delivering Agenda 2063. The nature of the assignment required a flexible system to be used for consultation, information and data gathering, and analysis. The findings in this report are derived from high-level interviews and discussions with key organizations, initial consultations with other key stakeholders and knowledgeable individuals, and analytical work.

AFRICAN UNION AGENDA 2063 Capacity Development Plan Framework Buttressing Implementation of the First 10-Year Plan—“The Africa We Want”

During the AU Golden Jubilee Summit, Member States pledged to commit themselves to the continent’s development and technological transformation through a continental strategic framework, Agenda 2063, and to national development plans through a people-driven process. Furthering decisions of the AU Executive Council, the AUC formulated goals, targets, and strategies to realize Agenda 2063. The AUC decided to assess the capacities required for implementing Agenda 2063 at the continental and regional levels (and subsequently at the national level) and worked closely with the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF), which led the exercise conducted by the Capacity Team in 2015. This capacity development plan (CDP) document proposes multilevel and multi-stakeholder CDPs that identify an initial set of foundational capacity-strengthening activities for the First 10-Year Implementation Plan (first 10-year plan) of Agenda 2063.

AFRICAN UNION AGENDA 2063 African Critical Technical Skills Key Capacity Dimensions Needed for the First 10 Years of Agenda 2063

This study produced by the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) in conjunction with the African Union Commission (AUC) observes that the single biggest challenge to ownership of Africa’s development agenda and management of its key development programs is grounded in the issue of critical technical skill (CTS) in Africa. To achieve the vision of Agenda 2063, as well as Africa’s ideology and existential imperative to fulfill its destiny as a great continent of the future, it must own, use, and have faith in its own CTS professionals, trained and working to a world-class standard. Considering the huge importance of capacity dimensions for Agenda 2063, it might be helpful to incorporate within the African Union (AU) system the continued partnership support of the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) on issues of capacity imperatives and robust African skills development for Agenda 2063.
