The 10th session of the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development has been changed to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The dates have also slightly changed to 23-25 April 2024. The theme of this year’s event is ‘Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063 and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: the effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions‘.
The Forum will undertake in-depth review of the following selected SDGs and corresponding goals of Agenda 2063:
SDG 1 – No poverty.
SDG 2 – Zero hunger.
SDG 13 – Climate action.
SDG 16 – Peace, justice, and strong institutions.
SDG 17 – Partnerships for the goals.
The ARFSD-10 is a timely opportunity to address shortcomings and capitalize on emerging opportunities to ensure robust, accelerated and timely implementation of the SDGs and Agenda 2063. The Forum will also mobilize effective Africa engagement in the Summit of the Future to be held in September 2024 and generate Africa’s priorities and inputs to the Summit.
