This year Africa heads to the United Nations Summit on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to be held from 20-22 September 2010 in New York. With five years before the MDGs are to be achieved, #AfricanAgenda2010 aims to ensure all African stakeholders, including citizens, review the progress made in recent years and develop a set of priorities for engagement and advocacy in Africa, and towards building a redefined relationship between Africa and the international community.
The target of #AfricanAgenda2010 is to generate feedback and responses from 10 000 people. The e-consultations will serve as a tool to solicit people's perspectives on what they think are the key emerging priorities for Africa. This exercise aims to identify trends and common issues in a timely manner along with the face-to-face consultations which explore emerging issues in greater depth.
To complete the #AfricanAgenda2010 Survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/W835YB5.
The deadline for submissions and feedback is 25 May 2010 to coincide with Africa Day.
The final outcome of this consultative process will be a document highlighting key emerging priority issues for Africa for 2010 and beyond. It will be presented to the African Union and shared at other strategic platforms at country, regional and continental levels, with special attention to those that can implement its recommendations by 2015 and contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development across the continent.
