AKADEMIYA2063's core programs and other activities aim in different ways to strengthen knowledge systems, promote evidence-based policymaking, and contribute to agricultural and economic development and ultimately to the achievement of the aspirations of the African Union's Agenda 2063-The Africa We Want. Role of AKADEMIYA2063 Inspired by the ambitions of the African Union's Agenda 2063 and grounded in the recognition of the central importance of strong knowledge and evidence-based systems, the vision of AKADEMIYA2063 is an Africa with the expertise we need for the Africa we want. That is an Africa where the available expertise is strong enough and mobilized effectively to meet the continent's development ambitions. This expertise must be responsive to the continent's needs for data and analysis to ensure high-quality policy design and execution. Inclusive, evidence-informed policymaking is key to meeting the continent's development aspirations, creating wealth, and changing livelihoods for the better.
