PAN-AFRICANISM
“Pan-Africanism Now: Pan-Africanism for a Changing World”
A Research Project Commissioned by the African Leadership Excellence Academy (AFLEX)
Pan-Africanism evolved as a key intellectual and political movement among the global African diaspora in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Its objective included the collective liberation, unification, independence, self-reliance and development of Africa and people of African descent. Pan-Africanism as a philosophy and a political movement has galvanized Africans and the greater African diaspora in the noble fight for justice, equality, and freedom. Pan-Africanism spurred decolonization in Africa in the and the US civil rights movement in the 1960s. It can be seen as the contemporary struggle of black people for justice and equality in Africa and beyond.
Africa Leadership Excellence Academy is studying Pan-Africanism and its significance in the contemporary struggle for stability, security, and prosperity. The analysis that follows will provide input on how to refocus and reprioritize Africa’s agenda in light of current events; especially the global pandemic and deepening global security challenges. It can help to show directions in which Ethiopia can deploy its moral and intellectual leadership in the promotion of national and continental objectives with implications for the rest of the world.
