Why:
The theme “Enhancing the agility and resilience of public institutions to achieve equitable governance and rapidly address historical service delivery gaps” aligns with the overarching 2025 AU theme: “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent through Reparations.” The theme is grounded in the understanding that strong and adaptable public institutions are essential for tackling Africa’s historical injustices and promoting long-term resilience. The enduring legacies of colonialism, slavery, apartheid, and systemic marginalization have led to deep socio-economic disparities that continue to impede inclusive development across the continent. Public institutions play a pivotal role in addressing these historical service delivery gaps by driving comprehensive policy reforms, ensuring equitable service provision, and fostering responsive, inclusive governance. By strengthening their agility and resilience, public institutions can effectively advance the transformation agenda and build a more equitable future for all Africans and the Global African Diaspora.
