Continental Frameworks of Agenda 2063

Several continental frameworks have been developed to address the development of key sectors such as agriculture, trade, transport, energy, and mining. These frameworks are captured in the priority areas of the First Ten Year Implementation Plan.

Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP)

CAADP is a continental initiative to help African countries eliminate hunger and reduce poverty by raising economic growth through agriculture-led development. Through CAADP, African governments agreed to allocate at least 10% of national budgets to agriculture and rural development, and to achieve agricultural growth rates of at least 6% per annum.

  • Extending the area under sustainable land management and reliable water control systems
  • Improving rural infrastructure and trade-related capacities for market access
  • Increasing food supply, reducing hunger, and improving responses to food emergencies
  • Improving agricultural research, technology dissemination and adoption

Find out more about our programmes to boost Africa’s agricultural productivity.

The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA)

PIDA provides a common framework for African stakeholders to build the infrastructure necessary for more integrated transport, energy, ICT, and trans-boundary water networks to boost trade, spark growth, and create jobs. Implementing it will help address the infrastructure deficit that hampers Africa’s competitiveness in the global market.

The African Mining Vision (AMV)

The AMV calls for the transparent, equitable and optimal exploitation of mineral resources to underpin broad-based sustainable growth and socio-economic development. It promotes a knowledge-driven, environmentally responsible, and socially inclusive mining sector that contributes to Africa’s industrialisation.

Science Technology Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA-2024)

STISA places science, technology and innovation at the epicentre of Africa’s socio-economic transformation, focusing on food security, disease prevention, communication, environmental protection, peace, and wealth creation.

Priority Areas:

  • Eradication of Hunger and Achieving Food Security
  • Prevention and Control of Diseases
  • Communication (Physical & Intellectual Mobility)
  • Protection of our Space
  • Living Together in Peace & Harmony
  • Wealth Creation

Find out more about STISA and programmes to boost innovation across Africa.

Boosting Intra-African Trade (BIAT)

BIAT aims to deepen market integration and increase intra-African trade from 10-13% to 25% or more within the next decade. The action plan addresses trade policy, facilitation, infrastructure, finance, information, and productive capacity.

Find out more about our initiatives to foster regional integration and boost intra-African trade.

Accelerated Industrial Development for Africa (AIDA)

AIDA is a pan-African programme developed with UNIDO, AU, and African governments to mobilise resources and enhance industrial performance. It promotes local value addition, small-scale industries, rural industries, and partnerships with emerging powers for technology transfer and joint ventures.
