Abstract: In 2013, the African Union adopted a long-term strategy for 2063, which among other goals aspires to build “a prosperous Africa, based on inclusive growth and sustainable development.” Africa has since committed to achieving several other global goals, including the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in 2015 as a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. The 2015 Paris Agreement seeks to promote ambitious climate actions, including a just and equitable transition to low-carbon development pathways carried out by countries. In 2016, the African Development Bank developed the High 5 strategic investment priorities as a holistic and pragmatic approach to addressing Africa’s long-standing development challenges: Feed Africa, Light Up and Power Africa, Industrialize Africa, Integrate Africa, and Improve the Quality of Life for the People of Africa. In 2017, a study by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) showed that, if well implemented and executed, delivering on the Bank’s High-5 priorities could achieve about 90 percent of the SDGs and Agenda 2063—the Africa We Want
