| Summary: | Agenda 2063 aspires for a people driven Africa relying on the potential of African people including women. It calls for an inclusive development process where no women is excluded or left behind. Ensuring gender equality and parity are primary focuses of Agenda 2063. Pressing challenges highlighted under chapters of this book collection created barriers that stand in the way of its full achievement. Eliminating discrimination against women and preventing violence against women remains to be a crucial step to the fulfilment of aspiration 6 of Agenda 2063 that includes empowering women to play their rightful role in all spheres of life, and that they have full gender equality as well. The promises set by Agenda 2063 in terms of increasing the number of women in public life to at least a 50% of elected public offices at all levels in public and private sectors remains unfulfilled. Though there are encouraging developments in few African countries including Rwanda and Liberia, meeting this target is still a challenge for most African countries. |
