Selection of Goals and Priority Areas Agenda 2063 has a fifty-year horizon with five ten-year plan frameworks. This first ten-year plan must be focused on issues pertinent to the period but aligned with the expected outcomes at the end of 2063. The key underpins for the selection of the goals, priority areas and targets for this first ten-year plan, which should be seen as a sub-set of the fifty-year plan framework are: areas where the African citizenry expect to see immediate implementation within the context of the African Aspirations – these areas constitute the flagship programmes of this first ten year plan, the short / medium term development focus of member states and the RECs, on-going continental frameworks that fall within the next 10 years and targets within the Agenda 2063 which fall due within the next ten years. Fast Track Projects and Initiatives This is an innovative approach designed to provide the big push and propel growth and transformation through fast tracking the implementation of programmes identified by Agenda 2063 as having immediate positive impact on perceptions of the African Citizenry with respect to the success of Agenda 2063. . The Malabo AU Summit in June 2014 mandated the AU Commission to explore and prepare concrete actions in the implementation of priority programmes and projects identified in Agenda 2063, notably, the Integrated High Speed Train Network, hastening the process for the creation of a Continental Free Trade Area, the African Passport and free movement of people, capitalization of opportunities in the aviation sector within the framework of the implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision on the Unification of African Air Space; implementation of the Grand Inga Dam Project; the Pan-African E-Network, the creation of an Annual Consultative Platform for policy dialogue involving a wide range of stakeholders, and any other integrative initiatives that are in line with the spirit of Agenda 2063 prior to the formal launch of Agenda 2063. These programmes / projects have to be incorporated into the first ten year plan. Further details of these flagship programmes / projects are contained in annex 4. Text Box 2.2 provides highlights of the flagship programmes 1.Near Term National and RECs Development FocusThe preparatory process of Agenda 2063 entailed extensive consultations with the African Citizenry including the Diaspora, African Civil Society Organizations and the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) amongst others. All these groups indicated the need to make the development initiatives of member states and the RECs as part of the foundations of the first ten-year plan. Building on these member states and RECs initiatives will not only serve as an incentive for full national and regional commitment but also ensure that both the processes and the outcomes of Agenda 2063 are owned by the people – who provided the inputs into the preparation of their national and RECs plans. In view of the issues raised in the preceding paragraph a review of member states and RECs plans were done. Lessons learnt from the reviews indicated that the focus of first Ten-Year Plan of Agenda 2063 should include the following areas:

2.Continental FrameworksThe AUC has developed frameworks to guide the continent towards a common focus in the developmental / political evolutionary process of member states, regions and the continent. These frameworks which cover the areas of agricultural production and productivity, economic integration, industrialization including mining, infrastructure, health and education, science and technology good governance / democracy and culture amongst others have to be integrated into the first ten year plan else they will be seen as parallel initiatives to the African Agenda. In view of this, there was a review of the continental initiatives. The goals, targets and time line and processes of these initiatives cascading from the continental to the RECs and ultimately to the member states have to be captured by the plan. The process for implementing the continental frameworks requires that targets are set not only at the national level but also at the RECs and continental levels. 3.Agenda 2063 Results FrameworkAll targets that fall between now and 2025 in the Agenda 2063 results framework are automatic candidates for inclusion in the first ten year plan. In this regard their associated goals and priority areas have to be included in the results framework for the first ten year plan. The focus areas under this category in general fall under:
