The African Union Commissions highlighting of the importance of capacity dimensions for Agenda 2063 has been one of the missing links in previous development efforts. This time, implementation will be from a proper understanding of the capacity requirements (as encapsulated in this document). This document provides a conceptual and operational framing of imperatives and capacity issues required for delivering Agenda 2063. The nature of the assignment required a flexible system to be used for consultation, information and data gathering, and analysis. The findings in this report are derived from high-level interviews and discussions with key organizations, initial consultations with other key stakeholders and knowledgeable individuals, and analytical work. Research also included questionnaires and document reviews.
