Africa 2.0 MANIFESTO ǺȀ

We are the Ones we have been waiting for
A Vision inviting all children of Africa from “Monrovia to
Mombasa” to make a new contribution to the Universal
Civilization! A Vision inviting all of us to raise our heads
and look at the bigger picture! A Vision designed and
driven by the people from Africa for the people of Africa.
A Vision inviting our leaders to sit at the discussion table
to identify and implement solutions together! A Vision for
our children. A Vision for Africa!

A Vision for Africa is necessary. A Roadmap or a long

term plan aimed at proposing a framework including
joint solutions, that transcend borders and address
common challenges. A Vision based on cross-fertilization
of knowledge and experiences. A Vision that rises from
lessons learned from our neighbours’ and from our elders’
previous mistakes and successes through deeper dialogue
and insight. A Roadmap that puts General Interest above
Individual Interest! A Vision that galvanizes all Africans to
become masters of their own destiny and enables them to
push further the limits of their capabilities.

Africa 2.0 MANIFESTO
“Name of a board game”
African Symbol of intelligence
and ingenuity
TESTIMONY BY MO IBRAHIM TO AFRICA 2.0
“Dear Friends
It is wonderful that young African men and women are
coming forward to articulate the African vision and
to set an agenda for the continent. Past generations
of leaders have failed you. They presided over a vast
and rich continent but through misrule and bad
governance, we are passing to you an impoverished,
under developed continent.
I know you will succeed where we failed - you are
better educated than us, more informed, well-
connected and better organised.
The world watched you in Tunisia and Egypt bringing
down entrenched dictatorships, armed only with
your courage and your mobiles. I watched you and
knew that Africa would be safe and prosperous.
Unfortunately, I could not join you in Mombasa but
would like to convey what an honour it is to even be
nominated for this award.
The fact that it is the result of a vote by young
Africans, future leaders, makes it even more
meaningful.
Many thanks
Mo Ibrahim (June,15th 2011)”

 Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson (Winner Africa 2.0 Award- Institutional figure of
te decade)

Why are some countries able, despite their very real and serious
problems, to press ahead along the road to reconciliation, recovery,
and redevelopment while others cannot? These are critical questions
for Africa, and their answers are complex and not always clear.
Leadership is crucial, of course. Kagame was a strong leader - decisive,
focused, disciplined, and honest - and he remains so today. I believe
that sometimes people's characters are molded by their environment.
Angola, like Liberia, like Sierra Leone, is resource-rich, a natural blessing
that sometimes has the sad effect of diminishing the human drive for
self-sufficiency, the ability and determination to maximize that which one
has. Kagame had nothing. He grew up in a refugee camp, equipped with
only his own strength of will and determination to create a
better life for himself and
his countrymen. "

When young Africans unite to combine their skills, passion and energy to propose
innovative solutions that could move the continent forward…

In order to drive the process and ensure that we provide a full overview and innovative solutions
for the pillars promoted by Africa 2.0 within the Overall Framework Vision Africa 2020, we have
gathered a group of Champions whose role will be to drive the process and mobilize the skills and
inputs from other Africa 2.0 members and thought leaders to contribute to the Vision Africa 2020
Manifest to be released in the last quarter of 2011.

The Champions come from the various parts of the continent and are part of the core team of Africa
2.0; they have the immense responsibility of delivering a Manifest of quality that will be a reference
