Agenda 2063: Moving from Blueprint to Reality: What will it Take?

Agenda 2063 lays out a bold vision for “The Africa We Want,” but the key question is: are we making real progress on this vision? In commemoration of this year’s Africa Day, we hosted a special podcast episode, “Agenda 2063: Moving from Blueprint to Reality, What Will it Take?”  In this episode, our Director of Programmes, Chioma Njoku, speaks with three of our alumni from Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya who are directly involved in reform implementation across the continent. Drawing on their work in healthcare, digital infrastructure, and governance, they discuss what Agenda 2063 promises, what has been achieved so far, where gaps remain and what the continent needs to do to ensure this vision is achieved. The conversation highlights that the real challenge is execution because while progress exists in Africa’s development, it is uneven and often not clearly linked to Agenda 2063. The discussion called for better alignment across governments, deeper private sector collaboration, and active citizen participation to truly realise the Africa we want.
