Africa Day 2023 : IRIAD-The Electoral Hub harps on sustainable political, socio-economic devt

A civil society organisation, The Initiative for Research, Innovation, and Advocacy in Development (IRIAD) and The Electoral Hub, has commemorated this year’s Africa Day 2023, with a call on leaders of the continent to ensure the desired sustainable political and socio-economic development.

IRIAD-The Electoral Hub, in a statement signed by its Director, Princess Hamman-Obels, on Tuesday, said his year’s theme, “Our Africa our Future”, embodies the need to reflect on collective history and our future direction as a continent.

“Reflecting on our history, we realize that we have come a long way in the past 60 years. From the period of colonial subjugation through the era of autocratic military regimes, we have transitioned into a period of democratic dominance across the continent. Our clamour for freedom and autonomy has been the impetus for successive transitions.

“This progress arose largely from two factors: the collaboration among diverse parts of the continent under the collective auspices of the Organization of African Unity and the Pan-African Movement. The formation of the OAU on May 25, 1963, now the African Union (AU), is very remarkable in our history as it connotes Africa’s freedom and that date has been imprinted in the sands of time to be celebrated annually.”

The group, however lamented that behind the veil of democratic euphoria exists the harsh realities of political instability and conflicts caused by the crisis of economic underdevelopment and the phenomena of social inequality, exclusion, and bad governance.

” Owing to this, it is necessary for all Africans to re-channel our course toward shaping a better future for the continent. It is only through this that we can get “The Africa We Want,” the vision of transforming Africa into the global powerhouse of the future.

“The growing demand for social and economic development, continental and regional integration, democratic governance, peace, and security, among others, was the momentum for drafting Agenda 2063. The Agenda 2063 is Africa’s 60-year implementation plan for transformational socio-economic and a prospective future for all.

“Therefore, we make a strong call to the governments to stay true to their commitment to increasing gender parity in public representation, promoting free, fair, and credible institutions, processes, and accountable leaders, reducing all forms of violence against women and children, reducing unemployment through youth and women’s inclusion and empowerment, and ensuring an impartial and independent judiciary, ” the statement said.
