May 2013 marked the Golden Jubilee
celebrations of the formation of the Organisation of African Union/ African
Union and African heads of state and government signed the 50th Anniversary Solemn Declaration .
The declaration marked the re-dedication of Africa towards the attainment of
the Pan African Vision of An
integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens,
representing a dynamic force in the international arena and Agenda 2063 is the
concrete manifestation of how the continent intends to achieve this vision
within a 50 year period from 2013 to 2063.[1]
African Leaders recognized the need to refocus and reprioritize Africa's agenda
to an inclusive social and economic development, from the struggle against
apartheid and the attainment of political freedom and economic development.
