|b The African economy suffered during the colonial period from exploitation and control in favor of the colonial countries, and after the colonialism, it witnessed a legacy of political and economic fluctuations and poverty, but it tried hard to unite African efforts to face its multiple problems. With the end of the eighties of the twentieth century, most of African countries turned towards the principles of capitalism and economic freedom, to implement economic reform programs and open up to the economies of other world countries. Then the biggest transformation in African history occurred when the sustainable development agenda for Africa 2063 was set, which is a plan that aims to bring about a political, economic and social transformation of the African continent during a period of 50 years beginning in 2013 and ending by 2063. This study aims to track the path of the African economy from the continent’s independence until the end of the second decade of the 21st century, with a focus on macroeconomic performance such as (economic growth rates, foreign investment, poverty and inequality ... etc.). It sheds light on the economic stage that coincided with the first ten-year plan of the sustainable development agenda 2063, and focus on the paths and future of the African economy in light of that agenda through the following points: - 1)- Features of the African Economy during the period (1960-1988) 2)- Economic reform programs and their implications for the performance of the African economy (1990-2013) 3) - The performance of the African economy in light of the implementation of the first ten-year plan for the sustainable development agenda 2063. 4)- the expected transformations towards a better future for the African economy. The study concluded with several results , the most important of which is that the African continent endured for many decades difficult stages of colonial control, followed by many economic crises, and international economic relations dominated by the exploitative nature of the continent’s resources and wealth, to transform since 2013 - when the sustainable development agenda for Africa 2063 - was launched. Africa enabled to significantly improve its economic conditions, making its level of economic growth surpassing many countries of the world, as recognized by international institutions and magazines The continent has taken steady steps towards promoting regional integration, establishing a continental free trade zone, and supporting digital transformation processes, thus transforming the continent towards more powerful, diversified and integrated economies
