In a landmark gathering held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, leaders and representatives from across the African continent convened to strategize on mobilizing investment and financing for the ambitious Agenda 2063. This continental framework aims to guide African nations towards sustainable development and socio-economic transformation by the year 2063. The meeting drew presidents, finance ministers, and esteemed guest speakers, all focused on fostering unity and collaboration for Africa’s future.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed opened the session with a passionate address, emphasizing that the journey towards an economically empowered Africa requires collective effort and bold initiatives. He noted that Agenda 2063 was not merely a framework but a vision that demands action. Prime Minister Ahmed called on African countries to leverage their resources and foster a climate conducive to investment, urging leaders to prioritize regional cooperation and integration.

Following his address, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa took the stage, focusing on the importance of public-private partnerships in achieving the goals of Agenda 2063. Ramaphosa stated, “The private sector is critical to the success of our initiatives. We must create an environment where investments can flourish, leading to job creation and economic stability.” He highlighted South Africa’s commitment to scaling up funding in infrastructure, healthcare, and education, which are essential drivers of sustainable development.

One of the key highlights of the event was the participation of Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), who unveiled a groundbreaking initiative aimed at financing climate-resilient projects across the continent. Adesina emphasized the bank’s commitment to facilitating investments in renewable energy, agriculture, and technology, reinforcing that “investing in climate resilience is not just an option; it is a necessity for our survival and growth.”

The meeting also featured a panel discussion with several finance ministers, including Nigeria’s Zainab Ahmed and Kenya’s Ukur Yatani, who shared insights on mobilizing diverse funding sources. Ahmed pointed out the challenges faced in accessing global financial markets, while Yatani stressed the need for innovative financial instruments, such as green bonds and impact investments, to attract international capital.
