Brief description

Agenda 2063, rooted in Pan Africanism and African Renaissance, provides a robust framework for addressing past injustices and the realisation of the 21st Century as the African Century.

Relevant excerpts

We hereby adopt Agenda 2063, as a collective vision and roadmap for the next fifty years and therefore commit to speed-up actions to:

o. Strengthen domestic resource mobilisation, build continental capital markets and financial institutions, and reverse the illicit flows of capital from the continent, in order to:

• Build effective, transparent and harmonised tax and revenue collection systems and public expenditure;

• Reduce aid dependency;

• Enhance domestic savings;

• Eliminate all forms of illicit flows;

• Double the contribution of African capital markets in development financing;

• Render fully operational appropriate continental financial mechanisms/ institutions;

• Elevate Africa- multilateral lending institutions to global status;

• Reduce unsustainable levels of debts;

• Address the particular challenges of island states in continental and global development financial regimes;

• Create an enabling global environment for Africa’s development, including the mobilisation of resources from all funding mechanisms for implementation of Africa’s priorities as defined in Agenda 2063; and

• Take measures to ensure technology transfer, adaptation and support for innovation.
