In celebration of #Africa_Day, we are thrilled to announce the signing of a MoU with the Centre for Policy Research AFRICA. This strategic partnership symbolizes a united effort by Africans for Africa, marking a significant milestone in fostering collaborative efforts that are crucial for sustainable development and stability across Africa. It underscores the importance of uniting African expertise and resources to tackle shared challenges, creating a brighter, more prosperous future for the continent. The MoU was signed by Eng. Khaled El-Sayed, the Managing Director of Synerjies, and Mr. Yorokee Kapimbua MSc BA, the Executive Director of CPRA. As Mr. Kapimbua states: "African youth deserves decent jobs for a good start in life, which every youth deserves to achieve a secure and peaceful Africa.”, so did Eng. Khaled emphasize that "Focusing on #African_led_initiatives is vital because Africa's unique challenges require tailored solutions driven by local expertise, aiming to drive our continent to reach its full potential." Together, we are not only committed to creating meaningful change that reflects the needs and aspirations of African people but also developing impactful #policies and #recommendations for the future.

Did you know ‼️ The Free Movement Protocol (FMP) is a significant component of the African Union’s Agenda 2063, aiming to achieve economic development by allowing Africans the right of entry, establishment, and residence across the continent. This protocol seeks to promote the free movement of people, capital, goods, and services to foster regional integration and facilitate trade. Additionally, it aims to boost investment, increase remittances within the continent, and promote labor mobility and employment. Despite these goals, there is resistance to free movement both continentally and regionally. Historical remnants of colonialism and Eurocentrism contribute to this resistance. Concerns about jobs, brain drain, security, and inadequate infrastructure to manage free movement are among the issues raised by member states. For example, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and North African countries have been less receptive to the FMP, citing the need for reduced economic imbalances, peace and security, efficient civil registration systems, and reliable movement control systems. The policy brief argues that achieving comparable levels of development across African countries before implementing the FMP is unattainable. Instead, free movement should be seen as a catalyst for increased African prosperity. Public awareness and support for the FMP are essential, along with a clear implementation process to address concerns and hesitations. How can the implementation of the Free Movement Protocol (FMP) address job security concerns while promoting economic integration in a Borderless Africa?

The AfCFTA Paradox: A Struggle Between Vision and Reality. >> https://bit.ly/3UUQIa4 Navigating Africa as a founder presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to travel restrictions, ease of collaboration and their impact on the AfCFTA. Just like Williams Ruto posited at the 59th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the African Development Bank “Kenya cannot prosper if Africa does not thrive... Our destiny is intertwined with our unity. We must work together and build bridges...” Paul Kagame, at the 2024 Africa CEO Forum, summed it up, “You can’t create an AfCFTA and then at the same time you constrain movements of people. So how is it going to be served? AfCFTA means you must allow that freedom of movement, of people, of goods, of services.” Read my thoughts on it here >> https://bit.ly/3UUQIa4
