The Africa we want
About maono 2063
Maono is a Kiswahili word that means Vision. The first aspiration of Africa’s Vision 2063 is audacious. It challenges positive minded Africans and friends of Africa to eradicate poverty in one generation and build shared prosperity; stating as follows:
We aspire that by 2063, Africa shall be a prosperous continent with the means and resources to drive its development, with sustainable and long-term stewardship of its resources and where there is:
African people have a high standard of living, and quality of life, sound health and well- being;
Well educated and skilled citizens, underpinned by science, technology and innovation for a knowledge society is the norm and no child misses school due to poverty or any form of discrimination;
Cities and other settlements are hubs of cultural and economic activities, with modernized infrastructure, and people have access to affordable and decent housing including housing finance together with all the basic necessities of life such as, water, sanitation, energy, public transport and ICT;
Economies are structurally transformed to create shared growth, decent jobs and economic opportunities for all;
Modern agriculture for increased production, productivity and value addition contributes to farmer and national prosperity and Africa’s collective food security; and
Africa’s unique natural endowments, its environment and ecosystems, including its wildlife and wild lands are healthy, valued and protected, with climate resilient economies and communities.
This is by every standard a very bold commitment. It is the sort of commitment that cannot be left to a few stakeholders. It requires the people’s ownership and mobilisation. A single event, activity or engagement will not get Africa there. It is the continuous mobilisation of the African people and the diaspora in various formations, effective communication and outreach, and sustained and inclusive social dialogue that will land Africa there. This is the context within which David engages as an evangelist for Africa Positivity with a wide cross section of leaders from across Africa and the diaspora.
