The Africa 2.0 manifesto.

The Africa 2.0 manifesto is a developmental frame work that proposes suggestions
and solutions addressing common challenges faced by the continent. Launched
at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa and the world economic forum in
Davos, the manifesto is acknowledged and endorsed by African leaders and the
international media as a credible and sustainable framework for properly unlocking
Africa’s potential.

Entrepreneurship constitutes one of the pillars of the Vision Africa 2.0 manifesto.
The pivotal role assigned to Entrepreneurship within the vision is based on the
assertion that Africa’s greatest wealth is its people. As such, the vision seeks to -

•Foster a generation of Africans that take ownership of their destiny.

•Build and keep an educated, skilled, rewarded workforce that will propel Africa.

•Create a knowledge based society that is able to apply knowledge and innovation.
