The African Union has adopted AGENDA 2063 as Africa’s blueprint and master plan for transforming Africa into a global powerhouse of the future. AGENDA 2063 is the continent’s strategic framework that aims to deliver on the goal of inclusive and sustainable development and is a concrete manifestation of the drive for unity, self-determination, freedom, progress and collective prosperity pursued under Pan-Africanism and the African Renaissance. Currently skills, employment and markets are at the top of the continental agenda. Large numbers of young people on the continent face unemployment, and many more are likely to endure similar circumstances unless the contributing factors are controlled, curtailed or reversed.
