**Creating a Prosperous Future for Africa: The New Deal for an African Renaissance**
During the tenth edition of the “Makutano” economic forum held at the Kinshasa Financial Center, the ambitious and inspiring speech by Nicole Sulu, founder of the Makutano Network, captivated the audience by exposing the vision of the “African New Deal”. This bold plan projects Africa in 2050 as a “transformed”, “unified” and “prosperous” continent, with the Democratic Republic of Congo as the real engine of this development.
In this vision, Nicole Sulu highlights the colossal potential of the DRC and calls for collective responsibility to ensure the prosperity of an entire continent. She emphasizes that Africa can no longer afford to stagnate, that every day counts in building a solid and sustainable future for future generations.
The “New Deal Africa” is much more than just an economic response, it is a deep commitment to our own capabilities, an unwavering belief in our right to shape our destiny. Through a vision of unity and cooperation, Nicole Sulu invites a movement that transcends borders and individual selfishness, to build a common future together.
In this approach, the “New Deal Africa” seeks to overcome current challenges in energy, food self-sufficiency, infrastructure, mining, while highlighting youth and women as essential pillars of this African renaissance. It invites increased collaboration between the public, private and civil society sectors, thus mobilizing the skills and resources of all to achieve common goals.
At the heart of this vision lies the idea that the Africa of tomorrow cannot be built without a true spirit of sharing and mutual aid, without a strong sense of belonging to a larger community. Nicole Sulu encourages us to look beyond individual interests to work together to build a new, dynamic and prosperous Africa.
In conclusion, the “New Deal Africa” offers a promising perspective for the future of the continent, by inviting everyone to actively contribute to the realization of this common vision. It embodies the hope of a united, strong Africa determined to overcome the challenges of the present to build a better future for all. The road will be long and strewn with pitfalls, but with collective will and unwavering determination, Africa can reconnect with its greatness and offer its citizens a dignified and prosperous future.
