Agenda 2063

We have to build and work together to build a cohesive African continent.

From our side, we continue to build and forge consensus on a number of issues, including on critical minerals, on peace and security, under the umbrella of Agenda 2063, the Africa we want.

And we close with a good news.

Rwanda has a 10-year agreement with Formula 1.

And then they said, "Even at the summit, don't prepare a speech.

Just read this letter." And now we understand this Agenda 2063.

Mm.

We agree.

And there's a summit adopted.

Incredible.

So that's how Agenda 2063-

Yeah

Like I said, this is the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program, and it's the African continent's flagship policy framework for agricultural transformation.

This is an Agenda 2063 initiative that's aimed at helping African countries eliminate hunger and reduce poverty by raising economic growth through agriculture-led development.

But w- we need to enter a new phase now.

And with this need to enter a new phase, a new blueprint has, you know, sort of taken the mantle.

So it might be more realistic to view the BRICS as a platform for cooperation rather than as a unified, a, development agency for Africa because of this diverse historical and cultural, economic, political, eh, context.

If I get your point correctly, so meaning, like, uh, the continent can go ahead or stick to visions we have for ourselves, like the Agenda 2063, which is coming from the AU, while also picking one or two from BRICS, or rather just cooperating with them on certain issues that are of interest to either regional blocks or individual countries.

Definitely.

This means to say that Africa can engage with BRICS, uh, from a member-to-member state viewpoint, understanding the priorities of each African state and, of course, of those that are in the BRICS.

Now, wait a minute.

You've just sat here, and you've had me go through all these resources saying this was a done deal, and now you're coming up, and you're telling me that this has the potential? And if you look at this particular, uh, document, it's telling you that there's an Agenda 2063 now.

So I guess 2030 is outdated because we're-

They're running behind, that's all

... what, 16? Ah.

But yeah, it says here, uh, "STEM education is a catalyst for Africa's sustainable economic growth and its realization of the sustainable development goals and Agenda 2063." Well, I have not heard about that one, but it also says here it drew from models on China, South Korea, Singapore.

It also goes on to tell you that this is building human capital.

What is human capital, Tim?
