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.

“Independence”
African Symbol of
independence, freedom,
emancipation. “From the
expression: Fawodhodie ene obre na
enam. Literal translation: “Independence
comes with its responsibilities.”
“If you want a year of
prosperity, grow a grain... if you
want ten years of prosperity,
grow a tree... if you want a
hundred years of prosperity...
grow a people.”

Capacity Building: case study.
Reinforcing Capacity at Government level
is of paramount importance. This can be
addressed by creating stronger systematic
bridges between private sector and public
sector. In the late 90’s in Cote d’Ivoire the
BNEDT (government arm focused on large
national infrastructure projects, led at the
time by Tidiane Thiam) set up a program
with private sector companies in country and
multinationals abroad to mobilize young
talented highly skilled Ivoirians in the country
and the diaspora to join the BNEDT for 2-3
years before returning to their previous private
sector employer. In a few years following the
implementation of such scheme, the BNEDT
put on track more infrastructure projects than
in the previous 20 years. This is what we call
leapfrog!
In order to attract skills and build the necessary
internal capacity to deliver on the Vision,
African governments could set up secondment

“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.
Mo Ibrahim
ǽǹ
( 2011 Africa 2.0 Award Winner:
Entrepreneur of the Decade).
I know you will succeed where we failed - you are
better educated than us, more informed, wellconnected 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)”

“when you climb a good

African Symbol of
support, cooperation and
encouragement
Africa needs better
infrastructure in order to enable
the uplifting of its citizens in a
context of a sustainable wealth
creation agenda. The mobile
telephony boom reminds us that
Africa is sometimes able to
economically leapfrog. Traditional
approaches to electrification,
internet connectivity or access to
water might just not be adapted
to the African context. Here as
well, African leaders will have to
think and act beyond ‘conventional
wisdom’ and invite civil society and
the private sector to the table.

Lessons Learned
Ş High calibre human capital is an absolute
prerequisite for the implementation of
any ambitious, transformational national
development plan.
Ş Prioritisation and sequencing based
on
‘measurable
socio-economic
transformational impact’ has been critical
towards informing budget allocations.
Ş Collaboration to avoid overlaps among key
implementing and supporting ministries,
departments and agencies, private sector
and communities is critical to the success
of implementing a long-term national
development.
Ş Top level government support at the level
of the president and prime minister has
been critical to the successful formulation
and implementation of Vision 2030.
Ş Legal frameworks to govern public-private
partnerships and procurement for critical
projects are necessary for the smooth
implementation of major infrastructure
projects.
Ş Performance

with
all
implementing agencies is a key instrument

5.5 Finding the money to
power the Vision
In his book ‘Ending Africa’s Poverty Trap’, the economist Jeffrey Sachs estimated
at approximately $1.2 billion the external funds Ghana would need each year to
meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) set by the United Nations while
Tanzania and Uganda would respectively need $2.5 billion and $1.6 billion.
Those numbers are highly achievable for each country by applying long term
vision, discipline and creativity. Those external funds could be sourced by
applying some key principles:

2. Systematically promote public-private partnerships and diversify
international bilateral partners
3. Reduce dependency on foreign aid while
prioritising and coordinating its allocation
4. Increase government budgets through
innovative tax and rigorous collection system
5. Mobilise Diaspora investments through Diaspora
bonds
6. Mobilise international capital markets
7. Use private placement programs to boost the

Raymond Baker, director of the Global Financial

money leaves developing countries every year,
compared with the estimated $120 billion which
these countries receive in aid. In other words, he
said, for every dollar that the West was handing
out across the table, they were taking back ten
dollars under the table. (www.youtube.com/

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. "

It is not the world that makes a man...

Vision Africa 2.0:
Governing Council
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

Vision Africa 2020 will only happen with your contribution and energy to drive change in Africa
through a leapfrog approach. Divided we fall, together we stand. Africa 2.0 invites you to dive in,
join the bandwagon, and make your contribution.
