Goal 6 of Agenda 2063, contributing to Prosperous Africa.
About this goal
Africa collectively worked towards promoting and positioning marine resources and energy as critical elements for accelerating economic growth. The continental performance realised only 21% of the expected value in 2019, partly owing to the very low proportion of marine biotechnology value added to the GDP. Similarly, the fisheries sector value added as a share of GDP scored moderately and recorded 48% of the expected value in 2019. However, strategic interventions largely implemented by island states exhibited strong performance.
