The Southern African NGO Network (SANGONeT) is coordinating an e-consultation open to all African citizens aiming at soliciting people’s perspectives on what they think are the key challenges, opportunities and emerging priorities for Africa. With an eye to the upcoming United Nations Summit on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be held in September 20-22, 2010 in New York, the target is to develop a citizen-driven agenda for Africa in the second decade of the 21st century.

The final outcome of this consultative process will be a document highlighting key emerging priority issues for Africa for 2010 and beyond. It will be presented to the African Union and shared at other strategic platforms at country, regional and continental levels, with special attention to those that can implement its recommendations by 2015 and contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development across the continent.
