Abstract:
Abstract: In light of the aspirations outlined in Agenda 2063, which aims to promote
socioeconomic development and unity across Africa, there remains a need to explore
effective socio-political frameworks that can be applied within the context of individual
nations to facilitate the attainment of these goals. This study focuses on Ghana as a case
study to investigate the potential impact of integrating Ubuntu socio-political ethics into its
governance structures. The paper used conceptual analysis to study the Ubuntu philosophy
based on data gathered from books, articles, and dissertations. The main thesis is that
Ghana’s chances of realizing the strategic goals of Agenda 2063 can be enhanced by
anchoring them in relevant aspects of African philosophy of Ubuntu (the communal
worldview of life). The areas of applications include tolerance and consensus building,
political inclusiveness, nation-building and patriotism, the fight against corruption, and the
promotion of human rights, gender equality, justice, and the rule of law. The paper
contributes to public discourse about Ghana’s potential to achieve the goals of Agenda
2063.
