The question is no longer what. It is how.
Agenda 2063 and the SDGs already describe the Africa We Want. Maseru is where public administration works out how to deliver it.
The 44th Roundtable in Manzini, Eswatini, agreed that slow, siloed bureaucracy must give way to agile governance, digital transformation and cross-sector partnership. That consensus was a diagnosis. The 45th RTC is designed as the execution workshop: delegates gather not to refine the diagnosis, but to build the cure.
