“As Africans, we need to share common recognition that all of us stand to lose if we fail to transform our continent. .. We must ask ourselves the fundamental question – what shall we do to respond to the tasks of building a democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous … Africa, a people-centered society free of hunger, poverty, disease and inequality, as well as Africa’s renaissance, to whose attainment Nelson Mandela dedicated his whole life?”

Thabo Mbeki, President, South Africa

We welcome the engagement of a range of stakeholders in our work. We have developed a variety of opportunities and ways for individuals, corporations, foundations, and other organizations to contribute to our research programs, development assistance work, publishing, media and communication projects and much more. We especially rely on individual supporters to support us in a variety of ways and in a range of projects and programmes. Read More

Did you know that AGENDA 2063 is Africa’s blueprint and master plan for transforming Africa into the global powerhouse of the future? Want to know more? Ok, let’s get started.

Dr Dlamini-Zuma in her critique of the AU during the 32nd Ordinary Session of the Permanent Representative Committee stated “you are most closely aware of the impact of the over-reliance on outside funding have on the Commission and organs, and on our ability to focus on the continental priorities. The reality remains, that he who pays the piper, calls the tune.”
