Africa claims the 21st century after its name as the African century. True to its name and claim, Africa has been in the global limelight with its cooperative performance at the United Nations (UN). The African representatives like the African Development Bank, African Economic Research Consortium, Global Coalition for Africa, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and World Bank have catalyzed the Africa’s prospects for economic and social development in the 21st century. And also, Africa’s moment into Africa’s century took birth placing Africa on the track-path to claiming the 21st century with social awareness of the idea of Africa’s rise invited by economic development, domestic and foreign investment in the continent. In fact, it is the Africans who nicknamed the World as ‘Global Village’ with globalization & information & communications technologies offering enormous opportunities for Africa to leapfrog stages of development. Hence, Africa’s claim, ‘21st century : Africa’s century’ , has become definitive aided by the conscious development partners obliterating vicious cycle of underdevelopment, conflict, and untold human suffering featured in the 20th century. Behind this, there is thorough participation, greater accountability and development discourses between African people, leaders and action-plans across intersection of society, economy and technology. In this Paper, it is my pre-planned advanced research approach and saga toward verification and compilation of the African century claims with the help of numerous reference works traced out by me and on their consolidation , the entire thing in its present state & form & format of this Paper has indeed, accrued to itsel the apparent-status of a Deemed Thesis according to me .
