OSAA Strategic Agenda
The Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA)＊s strategic role is articulated in its strategic agenda. Its implementation hinges on a comprehensive and broad-based collaboration featuring a partnership and technical cooperation framework, which catalyzes Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17, and Aspiration 7 of the African Union's Agenda 2063, as they lie at the heart of both development frameworks and articulate mechanisms for collaboration and joint action on thematic areas of mutual interest.
OSAA＊s strategic agenda is clustered around six thematic areas of intervention:
- Financing for Development: Access to financing, combat Illicit financial flows, enhancing international tax cooperation, engaging credit rating agencies, and reducing the cost of remittances.
- Sustainable Development to Promote Sustainable Peace: inclusive and equal institutional practices by countering conflict economies and build cohesive diverse societies as a driving force for peace.
- Democracy Resilience and Human Capital: human capital at the center of policymaking in Africa toward resilient societies.
- Science Technology and Innovation: closing the gap on digital literacy and digital divide; tackling intellectual property rights to achieve a leapfrog development.
- Industrialization, Demographic Dividend, and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA): Harness the demographic dividend to stimulate industrialization through African Continental Free Trade Area.
- Energy and Climate Action: Africa＊s energy mix, climate change and green growth, energy transition, and environmental policies.
