NTA20-3

The Regional Forum is an intergovernmental platform convened by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in collaboration with the African Union Commission, the African Development Bank and the United Nations system to review progress, share experiences and lessons learned, and build consensus on recommendations in the form of key messages to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063 of the African Union. These messages serve as Africa’s collective regional input to the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development convened annually under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council in July.
The theme of the sixth session of the Regional Forum is “2020-2030: a decade to deliver a transformed and prosperous Africa through the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063.” During the sixth session an in-depth review will be undertaken of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the corresponding goals of Agenda 2063. The Regional Forum will bring together high-level policymakers and experts from Governments and intergovernmental organizations, the private sector, civil society organizations and other major groups, and international development partners.
