We, the Heads of African States and Governments assembled in the City of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Convinced that it is the inalienable right of all people to control their own destiny, Conscious of the fact that freedom, equality, justice and dignity are essential objectives for the achievement of the legitimate aspirations of the African peoples, Conscious of our responsibility to harness the natural and human resources of our continent for the total advancement of our peoples in all spheres of human endeavour . . .
Following intensive consultations and preparation, the African Union (AU) policy organs finally adopted the third document of Agenda 2063, the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan, in June 2015, in South Africa. It follows the earlier adoption of the other two documents by the AU Summit in January 2015, in Addis Ababa, making Agenda 2063 to have three main documents. They are the Agenda 2063 Framework Document, its Popular Version, and the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan . . .
The African Union Vision and the seven aspirations emanate from extensive consultations from stakeholders, cutting across all spheres of the Africa people. With these aspirations, the African people reflect their desire for shared prosperity and well-being, for unity and integration, for a continent of free citizens and expanded horizons, where the full potential of women and youth, boys and girls are realized, and with freedom from fear, disease and want . . .
Fifty years after the first thirty-three (33) independent African states gathered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to form the Organization of African Union, now the African Union, the continent is looking ahead towards the next fifty years. On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the OAU in May 2013, Africa’s political leadership acknowledged past achievements and challenges and rededicated itself to the Pan African vision of “an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the international arena.” The AU Summit tasked the African Union Commission (AUC), supported by the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA), the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), to prepare a 50-year continental agenda through a people-driven process . . .
THE VOICES OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE - We, the people of Africa and her Diaspora, united in diversity, young and old, men and women, girls and boys from all walks of life, deeply conscious of history, express our deep appreciation to all generations of Pan-Africanists. In particular, to the founders of the Organisation of African Unity for having bequeathed us an Africa with exemplary successes in the fight against slavery, colonialism and apartheid. 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 . . .
We, Heads of State and Government of the African Union assembld to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of OAU/AU established in the city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 25 May 1963 . . .
We stand with all our fellow Africans!
