Chapter 3
A full understanding of the challenges and opportunities for attaining the “Africa we want by 2063” is essential in order to set the right goals and evolve the right strategies for getting there.
This in turn requires a thorough review of lessons learned from current national, regional and continental plans and frameworks; understanding of Africa’s past and current economic, social, political, demographic, natural resources dynamics; as well as impacts and opportunities that arise from global megatrends; analysis of possible development paths.
Overview of Africa’s Development Dynamics
20
The assessment of Africa’s political, demographic, economic, social and natural resources suggest the
following: All indications show strong prospects for continued
robust growth. However, Africa remains the world’s poorest region with almost 40 percent of the population living below the poverty line and one-third of Africa's population is undernourished
Relative stability prevails on the continent, but greater and more concerted efforts are needed to secure a conflict-free continent.
The democratic gains that have been attained need to be further consolidated and strengthened to deliver the democracy dividend in terms of deepening the culture of respect for Human rights, justice, strengthening real popular participation and improving livelihoods
Chapter 3
Overview of Africa’s Development Dynamics
The assessment of Africa’s political, demographic, economic, social and natural resources suggest the
following: The remarkable progress made in terms of economic growth
must be matched by progress to adequately reduce poverty and create enough jobs and close the inequity gap-of income and opportunity. Across the continent, delivery of critical services-in health, education, water and sanitation among others should be fundamentally strengthened.
Concerted efforts by governments and local communities with support from development partners, has resulted in Africa making progress in addressing the scourge of aids but a majority of those dying from AIDS or living with the virus are still in Africa.
The youth bulge presents great potential for Africa’s future, but it also calls for imaginative and urgent solutions.
Chapter 3
Overview of Africa’s Development Dynamics
22
The assessment of Africa’s political, demographic, economic, social and natural resources suggest the
following: There is greater awareness about the need for sustainable natural resource management with almost all African countries placing it as a top priority areas in their development plans, but more has to be done to halt the alarming deforestation including loss of timber, biodiversity loss and unsustainable exploitation of fishery and coastal resources. There is progress towards economic integration-at regional and continental level but this not occurring at a pace fast enough to meet the needs for sustained growth, trade and exchanges of services, capital or movement of people. Critical gaps remain in Infrastructure, Energy, ICT and Free Movement of people and Goods.

GOALS, PRIORITY AREAS, TARGETS AND INDICATIVE STRATEGIES
24
Factors To Consider Agenda 2063 is conceptualized as a general framework, which would be
implemented through successive 10-year plans. In the short term. Agenda 2063 will place emphasis on accelerating the implementation of
key continental frameworks that have been adopted and fast tracking of the integration agenda.
Additionally, African countries would expedite domestication of the relevant legal frameworks, protocols and similar instruments. Such an approach will provide the traction for long-term progress, as well as provide critical evidence of forward momentum to win over ordinary African citizens that Agenda 2063 is indeed a viable endeavor.
Chapter 4
Given the differentiated responsibilities between various actors at national, regional and continental levels, in ensuring the realization of Agenda 2063, two sets of results matrices have been developed for the national and regional levels, respectively. It should be noted that the strategies are indicative given the inherent peculiarities at both national and regional levels. This means that Member States and Regional Economic Communities will have to evolve the right policy and strategy mix to suit their circumstances to meet the targets

Chapter 5
Overview of Africa’s Development Dynamics
Risks, Threats and Mitigation StrategiesIn the next 50 years, new and unforeseen risks and threats (i.e. factors likely to have a disruptive influence on Africa’s future) and/or opportunities for development are likely to emerge, while the ones we know today could assume new and more threatening or soothing dimensions. Existing and new threats faced by the continent, include scrambles for its resources in the face of changing global demands and demographics; undue external influence in the affairs of the continent; its disproportionate burden of the impact of climate change; and the huge scale of illicit outflows of African resources and capital, the key ones being:• Conflict, Instability and Insecurity• Social and economic inequalities• Organized Crime, Drugs Trade and Illicit Financial Flows• Mismanagement of diversities; the ascendancy of religious
fundamentalism, ethnicism and corruption• Failure to Harness the Demographic Dividend • Escalation of Africa’s Disease Burden • Climate Risks and Natural Disasters• External Shocks

DRIVERS, ENABLERS, RISKS AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES
Chapter 5
Risks, Threats and Mitigation Strategies :
• These threats and challenges can however, be mitigated and turned into opportunities through mounting collective strategies and effective public policy responses and actions to counter the most disruptive economic, social and environmental changes facing Africa :
Overcoming risks and addressing fragilities entails two dimensions
•:Drawing on resilience found in African societies and building interlocking partnerships and institutions at community, member states, regional and continental levels. • Building the capacities of RECs to find regional solutions to address drivers of fragility is of critical necessity.
• Building interlocking partnerships and institutions
Agenda 2063 will have a well-built implementation and evaluative culture that is:

• Lessons from implementation of past continental frameworks and voices of the African Citizenry heard through the consultative process indicate that for Agenda 2063 to be successful, the following issues and challenges amongst others should be addressed:-
I. Drawing upon the full potential of African economies and people (the need to look internally, be self-reliant and explore possibilities for Africa financing her own development)
II. The need to link continental frameworks to identifiable sources of funding;
III. Reducing dependency on aid; and
IV. Putting an end to illicit capital outflows

Communication Strategy• To make the development of Agenda 2063 and its implementation successful, a Communication Strategy is being finalized. It aims at creating awareness, and sustaining participation and involvement from all strata of African society and the Diaspora. Such communication strategy will also inspire, rally and motivate the African citizenry to take individual and collective responsibility for realization of the Agenda 2063.
Capacities for Implementation• Effective and holistic capacities relating to skilled personnel, well-functioning institutional structures, competent leadership and conducive policy and legal environment will be critical for the successful implementation of Agenda 2063. And these need to be developed at all levels continental, regional, national and local levels, as well as among all stakeholders.
2- A robust monitoring and evaluation framework to ensure progress is measured and monitored
4- Communications Strategy – to reach-out extensively to specific targets and mass audience with quality information on Agenda 2063 in a consistent manner
