OVERVIEW

Background

Pursuing the vision of “an integrated, pros-perous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena,” the Heads of State and Government at the June 2012 African Union (AU) Summit mandated that the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), in collaboration with several key institutions, develop an indigenous strategic framework for the continent’s transformation over the next 50 years. This framework was to be an-chored in inclusive growth and sustainable development.

During the AU Golden Jubilee Summit, Member States pledged to commit themselves to the continent’s development and techno-logical transformation through a continental strategic framework, Agenda 2063, and to national development plans through a peo-ple-driven process. Furthering decisions of the AU Executive Council, the AUC formu-lated goals, targets, and strategies to realize Agenda 2063.

The AUC decided to assess the capacities required for implementing Agenda 2063 at the continental and regional levels (and sub-sequently at the national level) and worked closely with the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF), which led the exercise conducted by the Capacity Team in 2015. Three documents from this review were this capacity development plan (CDP) framework document; Capacity Requirements for the New African Vision: Agenda 2063 — “The Af-rica We Want;” and African Critical Technical

Skills: Key Capacity Dimensions Needed for the First 10 Years of Agenda 2063. The pre-liminary findings and recommendations from the capacity needs assessment were presented to the June 2015 Heads of State and Gov-ernment Summit. The Summit emphasized the capacity dimensions for Agenda 2063, including:

• Critical, technical, and sector-specific skills and training.

• The importance of developing mechanisms to enhance the role of youth and women as central capacity pillars.

• Mind-set transformation, including setting up multistakeholder groups.

This CDP document proposes multilevel and multistakeholder CDPs that identify an initial set of foundational capacity-strengthening ac-tivities for the First 10-Year Implementation Plan (first 10-year plan) of Agenda 2063.

Key recommendations and observations

General points of emphasis

Capacity development (CD) is crucial for the first 10-year plan and for Agenda 2063 over-all. It needs large financial resources beyond the capacity of any single organization (or groups of them) if interventions are man-aged centrally at the continental and regional levels. Thus the CD approach embodied in this document is based on subsidiarity and

2


decentralization — hence the need for the mul-tilevel, multistakeholder approaches.

CD is essentially about pursuing three key goals: enhance skills of individuals and groups; enhance or improve enabling envi-ronments to get things done; and design or improve systems, processes, institutional structures, and modes of operation to achieve better outcomes and effectiveness.

Key stakeholder groups (Box 1) and indi-viduals are encouraged to mobilize and seek funding for CD at their levels. It is estimated that 80 percent of the needed CD interven-tions could be carried out by these groups and individuals, while 20 percent may be placed under the responsibility of continental and regional institutions.

In light of this split, the AU’s biggest role now is to go out forcefully to expand awareness, build commitment, negotiate buy-in, promote an African sense of confidence toward the future, and spin the wheels of a positive move-ment toward a greater Africa. This involves creating a sense of excitement for Africans at all levels (from the grassroots upwards) about owning and pursuing their aspirations in dif-ferent but complementary ways.

Considering other strategic dimensions of the larger “capacity picture” for Africa, the fol-lowing needs are also important:

• Build capacity inventories at various levels.

• Design and gather new data on various ca-pacity categories.

• Emphasize capacity retention and utilization.

• Map out intra-African mobility and mi gra tion of critical technically skilled professionals (including issues of demand and supply and opportunities and challenges).

• Potentially consider policy protocols on the brain-drain circulation of Africans within Africa.

Refine and pursue the critical technical skill agenda for “The Africa We Want”

A bold critical technical skill (CTS) agenda must be launched within this first year of im-plementation of the first 10-year plan. Such an agenda should prioritize:

• Dramatic increases in African CTS profes-sionals and specialists in key areas such as engineering, mining, physics, geology, irrigation, dams, and geographic informa-tion systems. From the sample analysis in Chapter 8, as well as more elaborate projections that are being established, the numbers required will generally be seven to ten times that of present levels. These required numbers ideally will be achieved by the end of the first 10-year plan (2023).

• Unprecedented emphasis on producing large numbers of technicians who have been trained in technical and vocational education and training (TVET).

• A huge emphasis and orientation toward boosting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and training.

• A significant expansion of African research and the generation of contextualized knowledge and data to underpin Africa’s new narrative.

The CD imperatives related to the above re-quire attention to:

• New policy packages at the national level to orient and incentivize.

• Capacity-retention policies.

3


• Strategic negotiations with academia and the private sector.

• Data on existing pools of CTS specialists and TVET and STEM workers.

• Dialogue with CTS professional associa-tions in Africa and the diaspora.

• Targets set and monitored for the produc-tion of CTS.

Fund the capacity development investments required in the first 10-year plan

To raise the considerable investment capital required, it is proposed that vision-driven negotiations be initiated at once, involving national governments, the private sector, and academia. Leaders of CTS professional asso-ciations should also be brought in. The private

sector should be encouraged and empowered to design and implement win-win solutions for African CTS education.

The start-up seed funding for the CD priorities identified for the multilevel and multistake-holder CDPs in this document amounts to $28,610,000. It is proposed that almost all these activities be undertaken within the next two years. To calculate the complete cost, one would add the large amount of funds required to finance education and training imperatives, including those focusing on CTS, TVET, and STEM.

Capacity development for Agenda 2063: A long-term, special focus

It is vital that the AU system be supported in a sustained way by specialized entities work-ing on capacity issues. In this spirit, it would be useful to consider and institutionalize the

support of entities such as the African Capac-ity Building Foundation (ACBF). The ACBF will work closely with the NEPAD Agency and institutional entities in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), as well as with the African Development Bank (AfDB). It may also be helpful to integrate expertise on capacity issues within the im-plementation entity and focal teams under the AUC.

Structure of this document

The rest of this document is divided into eight chapters. Chapter 1 shows how this document builds on the findings and recommenda-tions of Capacity Requirements for the New

African Vision: Agenda 2063 — “The Africa We Want.” The particularly important Chapter 2 presents key proposals from the Capacity Team to guide priorities and planning.

Chapters 3, 4, and 5 outline three multilevel CDPs, at the continental, regional, and na-tional levels, and Chapter 6, in a similar vein, presents three sample CDPs for academia, youth, and women.

Chapter 7 gives indicative capacities required for the flagship programs of the first 10-year plan. Chapter 8 finishes with a sample analy-sis of projections in a few CTS areas (a topic more fully explored in African Critical Tech-nical Skills).

1BUILDING ON CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE

NEW AFRICAN VISION

In formulating the foundational areas for ca-pacity building expressed in this document, the Capacity Team drew on the findings and recommendations that emerged from the ca-pacity needs assessment. This assessment is documented in Capacity Requirements for the New African Vision: Agenda 2063 — “The Africa We Want,” which this chapter briefly summarizes.

In assessing the capacities required for achiev-ing Agenda 2063, the Team “unpacked” Africa’s transformative vision and analyzed the question: “Capacity for what?” It found that the fundamental broad capacities fall into three key strategic dimensions, which capture the essence of Africa’s Agenda 2063 vision:

• Dimension 1: recasting the African mind-set to a concept of African ownership.

• Dimension 2: identifying initial continental “flagship projects,” key development goals of member states, and special development activities and initiatives.

• Dimension 3: scenario building/risk man-agement and anticipating exigencies of the future.

The capacity review exercise produced major findings in broad capacity categories and made recommendations, all reflecting the multifaceted nature of capacity-enhancing priorities for succeeding in Agenda 2063.

Summary of major points of emphasis from the capacity needs assessment

Box 1.1 highlights the key messages taken from Capacity Requirements for the New African Vision. They were used as building blocks for the key proposals (chapter 2) and the CDPs (chapters 3–6).

Conceptual approach and methodology in preparing the CDP framework

Given the multidimensional nature and long-term vision of Agenda 2063, it is important that an equally innovative “CD” approach be developed that goes beyond the classic approach to CDPs. Hence the Capacity Team here proposes CDP templates that go beyond the production of one “umbrella” CDP. In-stead, the templates develop multilevel and multistakeholder CDPs to enhance the plan-ning of initial CD efforts.

The conceptual and methodological approach is based on the following:

A multilevel approach. The Team developed initial CDPs at the continental, regional, and national levels.

A multistakeholder approach. This recognizes the need for CDPs that address the CD needs of key stakeholder groups (see box 1).

6


Rolling, planning, updating, and expanding. During the first 10-year plan, the first CDP could aim for a timeframe of three years, with an adjusted set of CDPs for the last four of the first 10 years (until 2023).

Sources of funding — human, financial, and technological. One of the advantages of a multistakeholder approach is the potential for increasing the sources of funding on the basis of a decentralized, multilevel ap-proach. Moreover, this approach seeks to

“responsibilize” various levels of organiza-tions (continental, regional, and national) and stakeholder groups to commit them-selves to continuously re-identifying funding sources. It also enables a closer linking of CD requirements with actual Agenda 2063 activities.

Foundational and critical-path analysis. The Team first identified fundamental items — soft skills, composite capacities, and mind-set transformation. All these key issues

Box 1.1 Points of emphasis from Capacity Requirements for the New African Vision

Africa has diverse capacities at various levels that will help it firmly engage in implementing the First 10-Year Implementation Plan (the first 10-year plan) and Agenda 2063, but for it to be more effective some key capac-ities need urgent attention:

• Transformative and change abilities (including transformative leadership and change readiness).

• Improved capacities of institutions and organizations — continental, regional, and national — involving the restructuring and refocusing of work systems and a review of mandates.

• Investments in massive training and education for critical, technical, and sector-specific skills, including in STEM.

• An urgent revamping of the content of African education at all levels, so that educated Africans (including children and youth) are imbued with African values and visionary optimism and can find or create substan-tive employment.

• A move toward a Pan-African “New African” agenda through an African ideological grounding for those on the continent and in the diaspora,

• The start of a progressive transfer to youth and women of key responsibilities for leading parts of Agenda 2063 within the first two years of the first 10-year plan.

• The ability of the continent to commit and mobilize its own funding for the first 10-year plan and Agenda 2063. This will be the litmus test of “capacity.”

• An increase in soft skills, which are indispensable for each person to make things happen.

• Crucially and urgently, dimension 1 (recasting the African mind-set to a concept of African ownership) would then guide Africa’s development paradigm based on African values.

are critical game-changers and drivers of transformation, acting together as in a com-plex ecosystem. They are key elements of transformative capacity and need to be in

place from the outset, at the core of imple-mentation. Transformative development is framed in the long term as an essential out-come of Agenda 2063.

2KEY PROPOSALS FOR CAPACITY

DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES

Based on substantive and conceptual analy-sis, this chapter presents 16 key proposals for prioritizing and developing interventions for the first 10-year plan and subsequently laying the foundations for the later implementation phases of Agenda 2063.

Proposal 1: Progressively build a capacity development ecosystem

The starting point in implementing Agenda 2063 is with several critical game-changers and drivers of transformation, acting together in an ecosystem as foundational elements of transformative capacity.

The ecosystem has four layers (figure 2.1): the individual level (red), the change agents (white), the context environment (dark blue), and the enabling environment (light blue). The CD eco-system works from the inner circle outwards.

At the center (the red circle) is the “new Afri-can.” In the broad context of Agenda 2063, she or he, whether an elected leader or an individ-ual citizen, should be deeply “conscientized,” Pan-Africanist, and results-driven. He or she must be fully self-aware, with a strong African identity, and must have gone through training, learning by doing, and formal and informal/indigenous education as adapted to the practical exigencies of Africa in the 21st century — the new Africa. Some form of ideology that guides and directs effort, knowledge, skills, and institutions is necessary to bring about trans-formation in Africa at the individual level.

“Ideology” in this context refers to a visionary theory of self-confidence, with bold belief in and pursuit of a great destiny, anchored in the African body system and the drive to own and manage African resources and progress.

The individual connects closely with the change agents (white). They are knowledgeable stakeholder groups and individuals — skilled, committed, highly motivated, and high-performing — and can start now. These change agents should be totally transformed into new kinds of Africans who can inspire and mobilize others for action.

Following this process of reframing the New Af-rican, the next tier of the ecosystem (dark blue) is the context within which stakeholder groups and individuals apply themselves, via institu-tions, resources, transformative leadership, and hard and soft skills. Individuals function more effectively within institutions that provide a strong foundation. Access to resources — or the lack of it — affects individuals’ ability to function and hence their productivity. Without a well-structured and functioning institutional setting, therefore, individuals are only individ-uals. Effective institutions serve as the crucible within which individuals and other resources interact to generate desired outcomes, and it is in these institutions that individuals, their skills, and their collective knowledge come together.

The final layer (light blue) is the enabling environment that promotes productivity, val-ue-chain thinking, results orientation, and a transformative agenda. The first 10-year plan

9


should be solidly anchored in an African set of values that motivate and guide stakehold-er groups and individuals. It should also be anchored in a political economy and a social system that is founded on a clear, motivating, and single-purpose ideological paradigm with-in which people and institutions will function.

CD is not a one-time event. The ecosystem con-cept underscores this, going beyond traditional capacity “building.” The essential outcome is transformation generated and sustained over time and from within. Transformation of this kind goes beyond performing tasks.

Proposal 2: Promote an African mind-set change and African ownership transformation capacity1

The results of the capacity needs assessment showed that the continent has to make a

fundamental mind-set shift. A deeper para-digm, ideology, and existential identity are needed for Agenda 2063 to materialize. This will not happen just because it is desired. It will require the purposeful construction, nur-turing, and harnessing of key change drivers. These areas, especially the often-neglected “soft” and transformative capacities, have to be developed, after which they will constitute a new foundation for Africa to believe in its capacity to be a great continent, bringing and managing prosperity and peace to its people.

In particular, the “average” African’s self-confidence and positive mind-set that urgent change is necessary and possible are perhaps the most critical success factors for realizing the vision. These two areas present a challenge to Africans to take charge of their destiny and to believe and pursue the quest for development and prosperity. For this to happen, and for Africa to really “rise,” there

needs to be a collective mind-set shift leading to a focus on a new and positive narrative, a capacity to dream of a different and better reality, and a capability to turn the dream into reality, starting today. Without these critical ingredients, detractors and negativity will sap essential energies. Creating the highly effec-tive “New African” requires that urgent action be taken to promote new belief, confidence, mind-set transformation, and commitment to build a new Africa.

In prioritizing the foundational CD needs for the first 10-year plan it is crucial to stress, on the one hand, CD for African mind-set and ownership transformation, including change readiness, and, on the other, human capacity (hard and soft skills), as well as other funda-mental and systemic capacities that need to be tackled starting now.

The existential imperative for change and transformation to ensure buy-in, broad-based acceptance, and a movement for transforma-tion in turn requires radical and visionary leadership. Another critical success factor is an engaged and committed citizenry with confidence in that leadership.

In addition, there must be a support mecha-nism for the transformation, while change agents must be encouraged to innovate, take risks, and explore nontraditional ideas. An-other prerequisite is robust transformative institutional architecture, with values- oriented institutions.

Proposal 3: Develop and promote transformative leadership capacity at all levels of leadership

The new Agenda 2063 individual stakehold-er groups need leadership at all levels that is visionary, recognizes and nurtures talent, creates space for individual expression, and

motivates and brings out the best in people. Engaging and participatory leadership are critical for high-performing individuals who thrive in environments that engender recogni-tion and reward excellence and achievement. Without such leadership, the continent will continue to lose its best- educated and skilled professionals to competing, more motivating environments.

Proposal 4: Undertake institutional transformation, including reforming and retrofitting, to make institutions more Agenda 2063 compliant

Agenda 2063 needs institutions that are fit-for-purpose — institutions with mandates aligned to the seven aspirations:

• A prosperous Africa based on inclusive growth and sustainable development.

• An integrated continent, politically united and based on the ideals of Pan-Africanism.

• An Africa of good governance, respect for human rights, justice, and the rule of law.

• A peaceful and secure Africa.

• An Africa with values, ethics, and a strong cultural identity.

• An Africa whose development is peo-ple-driven, relying especially on the potential offered by its youth and women.

• An Africa as a strong and influential global player and partner.

Delivering on Agenda 2063, start-ing with the first 10-year plan, requires fit-for-purpose institutions that provide the operational environment that encompasses

11


a coherent set of policies, structures, and or-ganizations. These institutions also provide physical infrastructure and systems (including technology, procedures, and work processes) conducive to motivated and high-performing individuals. Effective institutions also cre-ate opportunities and build up the potential of individuals to expand their capabilities. Well-developed institutions — supported by skilled individuals, structures, and systems for applying knowledge, alongside clear account-ability mechanisms — enhance performance, allowing arrangements for implementation to be stronger and more efficient, adaptable, and resilient.

Some CD elements will be centered on the institutions and organizations with man-dates to lead the Agenda 2063 processes by reengineering systems and work processes; harmonizing mandates and functions; struc-turally configuring existing institutional architecture; and enhancing institutional capacities at the continental, regional, and na-tional levels and among stakeholder groups.

Africa needs an existential ideology to gal-vanize Africans into action and to sustain the transformation. This ideology is equiva-lent to the “total liberation of Africa,” a war cry of the 1960s that galvanized Africans and sympathizers everywhere into a unity of purpose: the eradication of all forms of colo-nialism. The Organization of African Unity was itself established with this mandate. The policies and actions of governments of independents states were aligned with it, and institutions and structures — including laws, power relations, and social norms governing civic engagement — were enact-ed in pursuit of the liberation struggles. A similar enabling environment to stimulate collective capacity will be essential to create the urgency, impetus, policies, and broad-based citizen action for implementing Agenda 2063.

Proposal 5: Prioritize the capacity development requirements for the first 10-year plan

Starting with the first 10 years, the Capac-ity Team addressed the question: What are the kinds of capacities necessary to achieve Agenda 2063? In addressing it, the Team un-dertook a substantive analysis of the purpose, content, and activities of the Agenda, which led the Team to “unpack” it into three strate-gic dimensions (figure 2.2).

This approach enables us to understand the elements of work that need be accomplished to achieve the outputs and outcomes in this bold vision. This unpacking therefore provides a first strategic response to the question: Capacity for what?

Dimension 1: Recasting the African mind-set to a concept of African ownership

A very important dimension of Agenda 2063, and a departure from previous development frameworks, is the emphasis on the need for Africa to master its own destiny through efforts and processes driven and managed by its own citizens. Achieving this dimension will be essential in paving the way for the two other dimensions to succeed, in a way that portrays Africa’s own development paradigm. Thus, accompanying the CD dimension is a call for social, economic, and political rejuvenation — a call for action to reenergize the African citizenry and rekindle the spirit of working together toward collective prosperity and a common destiny in a united and strong Africa.

Dimension 2: Identifying initial continental “flagship projects,” key development goals of member states, and special development activities and initiatives

This dimension requires skills in the areas of programming as well as activity planning and

12


execution. It also requires “hard” technical or specialist subject knowledge and skill sets that are critical for implementing flagship projects and other programs of the 10-year plan. This dimension is not new, as it has been included in other continental frameworks such as the Lagos Action Plan, the African Economic Treaty, and, most importantly, the 1963 Organization of African Unity Summit Resolution (which laid the foundation for the continent’s development). Fulfilling Agenda 2063 will require capacity enhancement and revamping of resources, institutional capaci-ty, and systems and work processes. Critical skills are also required in engineering, energy, mining, financial management, science and technology, and information and communica-tions technology (ICT).

Dimension 3: Scenario building/risk management and anticipating exigencies of the future

This dimension raises the need for adaptable knowledge systems and structures to man-age risks and to build resilience. Member States should be able to anticipate society’s growing needs and future challenges and develop appropriate interventions to deal with them. This dimension requires strate-gic, forward-planning and scenario-building capacities for the 21st century and beyond. It also requires Africa to show the willingness and ability to explore new opportunities, set its own agenda, and experiment with viable alternative approaches to addressing emerg-ing issues and challenges.

risk management andanticipating future exigencies

Dimension 2Identifying initial

development activitiesand initiatives


13


Capacities for the three dimensions must act together in symbiotic equilibrium for mutual coexistence and reinforcement. Further, all the actors and actions (entities or subsystems) in the ecosystem (see figure 2.1) have to work in a synchronized fashion, operate toward a common purpose, and be governed by com-mon rules and processes. This will create the necessary momentum for transforming the continent and fulfilling Agenda 2063’s aspirations.

Proposal 6: Transfer shared responsibility to youth and women as central capacity pillars for Agenda 2063

Agenda 2063 is about the future. Those who will live in that future must be given ample op-portunity to shape the Africa they want. One of the seven aspirations (an Africa whose devel-opment is people-driven, relying especially on the potential offered by its youth and women) specifically focuses on the two groups. Their role must therefore be center stage, and the implementation of the first 10-year plan must begin from the premise that it will integrate and mainstream programs led by, and focusing on, them. Deliberate and urgent steps should be taken to transfer responsibility for driving and planning aspects of Agenda 2063 to the many capable and committed young men and women, and to women of all ages.

Proposal 7: Use a targeted multistakeholder approach

CD’s effectiveness will be a core measure in assessing the formulation, benchmarking, implementation, and evaluation of programs and projects in the first 10-year plan. As-sessment also covers investments, including institutional arrangements, systems and pro-cesses, knowledge and skills access/transfer

and augmentation, and the measurement of CD outcomes in the transformation. There-fore, CD targets should be set for each goal and priority area.

A central CD principle would be that all Agenda 2063 investments and activities must aim to achieve two sets of capacity outcomes (figure 2.3), with activities and indicators de-signed to achieve the following:

• Systemic, composite capacities that con-tribute to the broad goals by ensuring that systems thinking and critical-path approaches are adopted, and by generating knowledge, innovation, and learning for other development interventions.

• Critical technical and functional capacities specific to the priority areas of the first 10-year plan and essential for program/project implementation (in necessary skills, sys-tems, processes, and institutional structures).

The approach provides a basis for a decentralized, disaggregated, multilevel, mul-tistakeholder process, increasing the diversity of funding sources for targeted CD interven-tions by stakeholder groups and individuals. Their involvement eliminates the challenge of having to identify and manage funds for one umbrella CD plan. Rather, stakeholders will identify their needs and mobilize and commit resources to address them within a common framework.

Further, this approach also enables a closer linking of CD requirements to the Agenda 2063 activities pursued (by organizations at various levels and stakeholders). Stakeholders will thus take responsibility for developing specific capacity for their projects and areas of operation, while helping improve system-lev-el capacity outcomes — creating stability and building resilience through investments for innovation and continuous improvement.

Proposal 8: Prioritize capacity for communicating and creating awareness of Agenda 2063

A prerequisite for effective implementation of Agenda 2063 is awareness across sectors and an essential understanding of its essence at various levels. Within the first few years, con-crete steps must be taken to adopt and adapt the agenda to national contexts and to ensure collective commitment. Sharing information, creating awareness of goals, communicating the need for Africa’s transformation, and effectively communicating processes and out-comes in an ongoing and structured manner is critical. The capacity for these has to be strengthened across the continent.

Proposal 9: Expand capacity by mobilizing and engaging with stakeholders

Agenda 2063 calls on all Africans — businesses, religious communities, ordinary citizens,

women’s and youth leaders, and policymakers at all levels — to act in concert to overcome the challenges facing Africa. It is therefore necessary to mobilize stakeholders (public, nonpublic, and nonstate) as integral parts of mechanisms for delivering development ser-vices and the results chain at the continental, regional, and national levels. Capacity for the coordination and supporting activities of stakeholders, in particular the private sector and CSOs, is critical and must be strengthened. Mechanisms will be put in place to facilitate continual engagement among stakeholders to make Agenda 2063 a truly participatory trans-formative agenda.

Proposal 10: Strengthen partnership development and management

A primary mechanism for imple-menting Agenda 2063 will comprise crosscutting and multilevel (particularly African) partnerships, collaboration, and networking, requiring a broad range of

actors to participate in, amplify efforts toward, and add value to the continen-tal development effort. A robust African partnership framework is necessary at the continental, regional, and national levels to promote ownership, facilitate ongoing learning, ensure engagement in implement-ing actions, and document and provide case evidence. Formalized partnership arrange-ments will be useful with organizations expected to play key roles.

Partners should be identified on the basis of their potential value addition to imple-mentation, that is, bringing intellectual capital (including institutional knowledge, expertise, and know-how); human, mate-rial, institutional, and technical assets; and financial resources that can be leveraged to advance progress toward targets. Such part-nerships and collaborative efforts will be key in pooling resources and knowledge assets into collective action and taking advantage of opportunities in the region to advance the continental transformation. These include as-sets from nonstate actors in particular. Efforts should be made to mobilize CSOs, the pri-vate sector, and policy think tanks for mutual benefit.

Intraregional cooperation and partnerships will also be important for discovering in-novations, promoting continental learning, and finding practical solutions. Particular emphasis will be placed on exploring ways to unlock and put to use existing African expertise. In addition, capacities should be strengthened to facilitate South-South Cooperation to build social and economic capital. Its modalities present new op-portunities and development solutions, including financing, knowledge-sharing, capacity substitution or augmentation, ac-cess to markets, transfer of technology and innovation, and engagement with the do-mestic private sector.

Proposal 11: Engender ownership by countries and a broad spectrum of Africans

One of the major challenges for Agenda 2063 is that implementation will depend on Member States; they have the ultimate responsibility for making it happen. A critical factor for success is therefore the urgency and extent to which Member States take ownership of the Agenda through national policies, integrating projects and other interventions consistently into plans, and mainstreaming priorities in fiscal budgets. Member States also need to build human, institutional, and operational capacity as part of domesticating Agenda 2063.

To support domestication and strengthen capacities, the AU will assist Member States in preparing “National Agenda 2063” documents. These will internalize the aspirations and integrate the key elements of programs and projects into national plans. Their preparation will engender greater ownership and commitment by Member States. Such documents will capture the spirit and provisions of Agenda 2063 documents, including parts of the first 10-year plan and a summary reflection of the countries’ own priorities (based on their development plans or vision documents). In a pilot, a few countries will be assisted in preparing these documents. As part of the pilot, domestication tool kits also will be prepared and training sessions organized for other countries. The Agenda 2063 CDP will also be domesticated.

Proposal 12: Unconditionally emphasize self-financing: “Solving the solvable — Africa financing itself”

Africa cannot and should not expect donors to fund Agenda 2063. External funding of any kind always comes with subtle conditions that

16


can be intrusive and disruptive and has creat-ed a dependency syndrome that is now hard to escape. Continued reliance on external funding will undermine ownership and lead to a loss of control of the Agenda. Another critical success factor is therefore how much the continent’s leaders can commit to and mo-bilize Africa’s own funding for Agenda 2063. The AU and Member States must urgently use its own resources, internally generated or otherwise, to find new ways of financing. Several options are under discussion and once selected must be introduced without delay. Mechanisms will also be developed for tap-ping into resources from the global South.

Proposal 13: Enhance capacity for implementation and for monitoring and evaluation

Agenda 2063 emphasizes invest-ment in capacities for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to promote an evaluative culture that goes beyond compliance with processes and funding requirements. Con-crete implementation modalities and M&E capacity requirements should be factored into all Agenda 2063 project interventions, with plans for upgrading skills, managing information, strengthening collection of socioeconomic data, and developing systems for reporting results. Interventions should aim to improve procedures, set up accountability mechanisms, and create functional mech-anisms that facilitate access to and use of information for decisions.

An evaluative culture suggests use of M&E as a basis for learning to promote better perfor-mance, integrally linking M&E with knowledge management. For this purpose, Agenda 2063’s M&E framework will serve as a foundation for strengthening the capacity of Member States’ governments and their institutions to help them learn from their implementation experience and

improve their performance, drawing on evi-dence on the ground.

Proposal 14: Strengthen the implementation capacity of key institutions

CD priorities should include institutional development and mechanisms for delivering development services across the continent, as well as making the continent’s institutions — AUC, RECs, NEPAD Agency, African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), Pan-African Parliament (PAP), and so on — operationally more effective and efficient.2 Continental and regional programs need to be linked to na-tional actions, each providing feedback to the other, which is why mechanisms to facilitate interaction will be important.

Proposal 15: Anchor to the Capacity Development Strategic Framework

The AU/NEPAD Capacity Development Strategic Framework (CDSF), endorsed by the AU Assembly in 2010, provides a good foundation for prioritizing CD in Africa. The CDSF represents a crucial paradigm shift in the approach to CD, emphasizing the imperative to capitalize on African resource-fulness and seeking to address capacity challenges through innovative and transfor-mative processes. The CDSF is a common approach to CD, ensuring continuity and synergy between regional and nation-al initiatives. Based on priorities defined by African stakeholders, the CDSF is found-ed on six “cornerstones:” transformative leadership; citizen empowerment; utilizing African potential, skills, and resources; pursuing knowledge and evidence-based innovation; developing the capacity of ca-pacity developers; and integrating planning and implementation for results.3

17


The cornerstones address capacities among systems and individuals, and this Capacity Development Plan Framework builds on and operationalizes them. The aim is both to de-velop the capacity of actors (organizations and individuals) who can bring about transforma-tion and to meet Agenda 2063’s aspirations.

Proposal 16: Recognize and accept what constitutes the multifaceted importance of a CDP

When one reads the initial CD interventions suggested in the following chapters, one should bear in mind that CD includes:

• Training people and developing skills.

• Improving enablers, optimizers, and ca-pacity enhancers.

• Implementing enabling processes, in-stitutional structures, and managerial systems, including decentralization and responsibilization.

• Mobilizing and building commitment at all levels to succeed in a strategic and vision-ary agenda.

• Identifying and promoting soft skills.

With the above 16 proposals in mind, the Capacity Team presents some initial CD interventions, using a broad range of entry points.

3PROPOSED CONTINENTAL

CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

This first CDP matrix (table 3.1) proposes continental start-up capacity interventions. The areas of intervention will not remain static and will need to be periodically updated within the first 10 years when new priorities emerge. Further, these areas are only indica-tive of some of the foundational interventions required. The outcomes of the interventions

will be the basis for identifying, updating, or expanding further interventions.

The table has six key issue areas (first row), plus the timeline, indicative costs, and pro-posed key supporting organizations. The areas of broad capacity gaps and needs derive from the capacity needs assessment.

4PROPOSED REGIONAL CAPACITY

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The second CDP matrix (table 4.1) has indic-ative examples of regional interventions. Like the continental interventions, they are not static and will need to be periodically updat-ed within the first 10 years as new priorities emerge. The interventions should be promot-ed by RECs and other regional institutions. The outcomes of the interventions will be the

basis for identifying, updating, or expanding further interventions.

The table has six key issue areas (first row), plus the timeline, indicative costs, and pro-posed key supporting organizations. The areas of broad capacity gaps and needs derive from the capacity needs assessment.

5PROPOSED NATIONAL CAPACITY

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The national CDP matrix (table 5.1) pres-ents a template that can be contextualized to individual countries. Although the for-mal capacity needs assessment for Agenda 2063 is yet to be undertaken at the national level, some generic and start-up capacity needs must be addressed, for which the table gives some indicative, foundational, and capacity-enhancing interventions (subject

to revision when the national needs assess-ments are completed). These interventions are to be carried out by Member States, stakeholder groups, and institutions at the national level.

The table has six key issue areas (first row), plus the timeline, indicative costs, and pro-posed key supporting organizations.

6PROPOSED CAPACITY

DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THREE STAKEHOLDER GROUPS

Developing the multistakeholder CDP templates

This chapter presents three templates of stakeholder CDPs for youth, women, and ac-ademia, with indicative interventions. As with the earlier tables, the areas of intervention are not static and will need to be periodical-ly updated, expanded, and contextualized in line with the work of each stakeholder group

(private sector, CSOs, and so on). The out-comes of the interventions will be the basis for identifying, updating, or expanding fur-ther interventions.

The tables have six key issue areas (first row), plus the timeline, indicative costs, and proposed key supporting organizations. The areas of broad capacity gaps and needs derive from the capacity needs assessment.

8GAPS IN AFRICA’S CRITICAL

TECHNICAL SKILL AREAS: SAMPLE ANALYSIS

Africa and its nations are lagging behind in their depth and availability of CTS and spe-cialists, including those with vocational skills. This short section offers a sample analysis of CTS categories to better underscore the enor-mity of the endeavor that is Agenda 2063. (A more comprehensive analysis is in the docu-ment African Critical Technical Skills: Key Capacity Dimensions Needed for the First 10 Years of Agenda 2063).

The total population of the few countries here is smaller than Africa’s, but they are far ahead of the rest of the continent in the level and availability of CTS and specialists. The im-perfections of the analysis below — especially the small base of countries — underscore Afri-ca’s data challenge.

Engineers

Numbers in selected African countries. The estimated number of engineers in Kenya is 7,221, in Tanzania, 2,614, in Malawi, 300,4 and in Rwanda, 175,5 so there is an average of approximately 2,576 engineers in these countries. As many countries in Africa are still “least developed,” one can assume that their average is even lower. Optimistically, it may be that the average of engineers in just Malawi, Rwanda, and Tanzania — around 1,029 — reflects the average of most African countries (except for those with far smaller populations). So, using this average, one

could put the total number of engineers in Af-rica at 55,602, for a ratio of 0.0476 engineers per 1,000 people.

But a good proportion of these engineers are lost every year to other continents, mainly Europe and America. For example, up to 300 qualified engineers leave South Africa every year, according to the Engineering Council of South Africa, leaving the country with fewer than three civil engineers per 100,000 people and depriving 79 of the country’s 231 local municipalities of all their civil engineers, technologists, and technicians.

Comparison with other developing countries. With a population of 200.4 million, Brazil has some 750,000 engineers, for a ratio of 3.75 engineers per 1,000 people — almost 100 times as many per 1,000 people as Tanzania. Tanzania, with a population of 50,710,7986 and 2,614 engineers, has a ratio of only 0.051 engineers per 1,000 people, or a shortfall of (at a ratio of 3.698 per 1,000 people) 187,554 engineers.

Kenya has an equivalent shortfall of 166,924 engineers. (This is based on a population of 46,445,079 and 7,221 engineers, for a ratio of 0.155 engineers per 1,000 people, or 3.594 engineers per 1,000 people).

For Africa as a whole, with an estimated population of 1,166,239,000 and 55,602 en-gineers, at a ratio of 3.702 for 1,000 people,

58


the shortfall in engineers (compared to what Africa ought to have) is 4,317,795.

The current African ratio of 0.107 per 1,000 people is also very low, especially compared to a developing economy such as Venezue-la’s (estimated population of 28 million and 180,000 engineers, for a ratio of 6.428 engi-neers per 1,000 people). Using this country as a benchmark, Africa has a shortfall of 6.380 engineers per 1,000 people.

Targets for 2023. The Tanzanian popula-tion of 50,710,798 is forecast to reach about 57 million by 2023. Its current shortage of en-gineers is 3.698 per 1,000 people, which will rise to 4.157 engineers by 2023 based on cur-rent trends. For Tanzania to bridge this gap, it will have to produce a minimum of 236,961 additional engineers — an average of 33,852 every year for the next seven years.

By 2023, the current African population of 1.166 billion is estimated to reach 1.3 billion. The current Africa-wide shortage of engineers is about 3.702 per 1,000 people, a gap that will grow to 4.126 in seven years. To close that gap, Africa has to produce a minimum of 5,365,013 additional engineers — 766,431 a year. To be at Venezuela’s current level (7.112 engineers per 1,000 people) by 2023, it will have to invest heavily in producing engineers, for a minimum of 9,245,855–1,320,837 a year.

Medical doctors and specialists

Current situation. Africa is also lagging in its numbers of medical doctors and specialists. According to World Bank statistics, Africa has an average ratio of 0.307 physicians (medical doctors) per 1,000 people, or a mere 358,035 for nearly 1.2 billion people.

Comparison with other developing coun-tries. That number is very low compared to,

for example, Brazil, which for its roughly 200 million people has 378,756 physicians, at an estimated ratio of 1.89 per 1,000 people. That leaves a gap with Africa of 1.583 medical doctors per 1,000 people, or 20,721 doctors.

Targets for 2023. By 2023, the African pop-ulation is estimated to reach 1.3 billion. To reach Brazil’s current level, Africa will have to invest significantly in training doctors, too — a minimum of 23,098, or 3,211 per year.

Here are three developed countries with their populations and number of doctors per 1,000 people:

• Canada: 34,419,000 and 2.07.

• United Kingdom: 60,566,000 and 2.79.

• United States: 321,225,000 and 2.45.

This yields a ratio of 7.31 for a combined pop-ulation of 416,210,000, or a shortfall in Africa (population nearing 1.2 billion) of 8,167,172 medical doctors, at 7.003 doctors per 1,000 people. To close this gap, Africa has the mam-moth task of training an additional 9,103,900 physicians — 1,300,557 a year — which will be borne by the AUC, RECs, Member States, and stakeholder groups, among others.

Researchers and STEM specialists

Another yawning gap that Africa has to bridge is in the STEM sector. African research is dominated by Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Nige-ria, and South Africa. During 2003–2012, all three sub-Saharan African regions doubled their annual research output and increased its quality, raising Sub- Saharan Africa’s share of global research from 0.44 percent to 0.72 per-cent over the decade. Still, since Africa has 12 percent of the global population, a consid-erable gap remains.

59


In Sub- Saharan Africa, research in the phys-ical sciences and STEM makes up only 29 percent of all research, compared to an av-erage of 68 percent in Malaysia and Vietnam.

Sub- Saharan Africa relies on overseas col-laboration and visiting academics for a steep share of its research output. Some 40–80 per-cent of its science and technology innovation publications are with external partners. The majority of those are in fields, such as health and agriculture, of most interest to interna-tional donors, to the neglect of areas, such as engineering (as above), needed to en-able Africa to develop fundamental STEM research — despite decades of extractive re-source activity. Donors’ heavy influence also dissuades Africa from looking within its own research communities. Sub- Saharan Africa collaborates by far the most with international partners; inter-African collaborations are just 2 percent, 2.9 percent, and 0.9 percent of all East African, Southern African, and West and Central African output.7

The continent remains far from the target set by the Lagos Plan of Action and AU 2007 ini-tiative calling on African countries to allocate

1 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) to science. With Africa’s combined GDP at approximately $2.6 trillion, the amount that could be allocated to science is $200 billion.

African countries can no longer afford to depend only on external sources to finance their basic research. African governments and the private sector should make a firm com-mitment to invest in STEM and innovations. This is vital for the continent to participate in the global knowledge economy and cultivate local capacity, including among youth and women.

Three other critical skill areas

The following figures paint a similar picture for mining specialists and engineers, geolo-gists, and quantity surveyors.

These data underscore Africa’s enormous CTS challenge for Agenda 2063. To deliver on the flagship projects, it must make concert-ed efforts urgently to bridge the CTS chasm between what Africa has and what it ought to have.

The June 2015 AU Ministerial Retreat of the Executive Council and the Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa emphasized the importance of the capacity dimensions for delivering on Agenda 2063. The Executive Council proposed that the finalized capacity assessment work should highlight the critical skills needed and the role of universities in providing training.

The work on Capacity Dimensions for Agenda 2063 was initiated by the AUC, with close support of the ACBF, which has produced three documents:

• African Critical Technical Skills: Key Capacity Dimensions Needed for the First 10 Years of Agenda 2063.

• Capacity Requirements for the New African Vision: Agenda 2063 — “The Africa We Want.”

• Capacity Development Plan Framework: Buttressing Implementation of the First 10-Year Plan — “The Africa We Want.”

The preliminary findings and recommendations from the capacity needs assessment were presented to the June 2015 Heads of State and Government Summit. The Summit emphasized the capacity dimensions for Agenda 2063, including:

• Critical, technical, and sector-specific skills and training.

• The importance of developing mechanisms to enhance the role of youth and women as central capacity pillars.

• Mind-set transformation, including setting up multistakeholder groups.

This report proposes multilevel and multistakeholder capacity development plans that identify an initial set of foundational capacity-strengthening activities for the First 10-Year Implementation Plan of Agenda 2063.
