AU Member States have been implementing Agenda 2063 since its advent, albeit with varied levels of results and experiences. However, peer learning, knowledge exchange and support among the Member States – an important consideration for accelerating the implementation of Agenda 2063, is limited and organised on an ad-hoc basis. Furthermore, while the AU Assembly demands that country-level reports on implementation of the continent’s development agenda are submitted to the Union on a biennial basis to enable regular reviews on countries’ implementation of Agenda 2063, to-date no implementation reports have been presented to the Assembly.

AUDA-NEPAD is mandated, amongst others, to coordinate and implement continental and regional priority interventions, strengthen implementation capacities and provide knowledge-based advisory services to AU Member States and Regional Economic Communities (RECs). 

Effective programming, design, planning, execution and deployment of technical expertise and knowledge resources to RECs and Member States calls for a good understanding of Member States’ development priorities, and credible analyses of their implementation capacities, opportunities, challenges. The analyses will also provide a basis for AUDA-NEPAD in collaboration with the African Union Commission to promote peer learning, knowledge exchange and upscaling good practices among AU Member States.
