The Second Continental Report on the Implementation of Agenda 2063 evaluates the progress made by 38 African Union Member States towards achieving the goals set out in the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan (2014-2023). The report reveals that while significant strides have been made in various areas, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted socio-economic development, leading to increased poverty and unemployment rates. Overall, the continent achieved an aggregate score of 51% against the 2021 targets, reflecting improvements from the previous report. Notable successes include the operationalization of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and advancements in infrastructure and ICT. However, challenges persist in areas such as governance, health, and economic transformation, with specific goals not met. The report emphasizes the need for enhanced political commitment, resource mobilization, and data management to ensure the successful implementation of Agenda 2063.
