Africans and externals. Not only, these visions had important differences whether they were from Africans or externals, they had not also emanated from the people. Then, they resulted in insufficient achievements concerning the development of the continent. Fifty years after the implementation of such visions, there was a need to revise them and plan a new continental development vision that takes into account the needs of the African population for the coming fifty years. This was achieved through the definition and promulgation of the AU Agenda 2063. However, in order to avoid past errors, it is necessary to look back and learn lessons that can guide the successful implementation of the new agenda. Hence, the analysis of the outcomes guided the recommendation of policies towards African leaders through what to do and what not to do for succeeding in AU Agenda 2063 implementation. This case study is worth sharing with African leaders to help them confront current challenges Africa is facing. Also, it inspires African capacity building institutions like the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF), in assisting African countries in designing and monitoring relevant policies that fall in what to do by African leaders to succeed in AU Agenda 2063 implementation. Finally, such institutions will help promote a results-based culture that is recommended for ensuring an effective transformation of the continent.
