Why do we set up platforms? From vision to tangible impact: Africa’s South-South Cooperation takes centre stage
Imagine the power of African nations collaborating, sharing expertise, and building solutions together. That vision is now a vibrant reality through our AUDA-NEPAD South-South Cooperation Project, which today is convening its 2nd in-person meeting in Kigali, Rwanda.
What began as inspirational coordination has grown into a structured, operational continental project. We are not just talking about change; we are actively building it, piece by piece, through peer-to-peer technical exchange, co-development of solutions, and coordinated problem-solving across regions, with a team of African experts.
As Mr Symerre Grey-Johnson l @SymerreGrey, Director of the Human Capital and Institution Development (HCID), powerfully articulated, “This represents a shift from dialogue to concrete systems-level change.” This is not just about conversations; it is about transforming health and welfare systems together, strengthening social protection, and harnessing Africa’s demographic dividend through tangible and scalable models.
With strategic partnerships and a clear focus on execution, the project is delivering real results concerning; starting with reproductive health and ensuring that the next two years are marked by precision, prioritisation, and impactful action.
Together, we are forging a future where African solutions lead the way.

“Nothing happens automatically. And only few things last. Therefore — be mindful of your strength, and of the fact that every era wants its own answers, and you have to be up to its speed in order to be able to do good." #WillyBrandt.

J’exprime ma solidarité suite aux accidents de la route survenus à hauteur de Koussanar et de Sindia. Je présente mes condoléances aux familles des personnes décédées et souhaite prompt rétablissement aux blessés.
J’invite à plus de prudence et de responsabilité sur les routes.
Commemorating #Mandela day is the opportunity for every leadership to reflect on the values Madiba did put in practice ; it is the path through which #young#Africans (who are the majority of our people) can promote #peace and prosperity or we will run in very troubling times.
