ABOUT THE ACADEMY
The Agenda 2063 Academy is a practitioner-oriented learning platform designed to strengthen the institutional disciplines required to realize The Africa We Want.
The Academy operates within the continental governance framework for Agenda 2063 implementation, while retaining full operational independence in curriculum design, certification standards, and quality assurance.
The Executive Council of the African Union, through Decision EX.CL/Dec.1315(XLVII), supported the operationalization and scaling-up of the Agenda 2063 Academy and invited Member States to adopt the curriculum and modalities for integration into national and regional training institutions, with a focus on youth engagement.
The Academy’s programmes focus on strengthening the systems that enable Agenda 2063 to be owned, financed, delivered, and stewarded across institutions and generations.
