Educate and Skill Africa

Abstract

The African Union continues to be seized with the task to build the Africa we want as outlined in the African Agenda 2063. This agenda should lead to a stronger, more peaceful and more prosperous Africa. It should lead to strong and effective institutions. It should produce more responsible leadership and accountable governments across the continent. It is expected that the road to 2063 must see inclusive economic growth and development marked by the participation of small and medium size enterprises and informal entrepreneurs that Africa has in abundance. As the AU does every year, the 2024 efforts happen with emphasis on the annual theme: Educate and Skill Africa. This is meant to build on the outcomes of the United Nations global summit on Transforming Education of September 2022. This summit sought to address a global education crisis manifest in poor progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 4.
