Workshop on Accelerating the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda and AU Agenda 2063 in Africa: Building Resilient Institutions for the SDGs in the time of COVID-19

Background

The overarching objective of this workshop is to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and AU Agenda 2063, using as an entry point institutions and follow-up and review processes at the national and regional levels. The workshop will: (a) strengthen institutions and governance for SDGs, including implementation of the CEPA principles, among African countries in partnership with the APRM; and (b) empower countries to turn the lessons learned from the Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs), and other review processes like the APRM, into actionable and effective solutions, in particular by integrating the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063 into sustainable development strategies and plans.
