The 2017 session of the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development will be held under the theme: “Ensuring inclusive and sustainable growth and prosperity for all.” This theme is closely aligned with that of the 2017 meeting of the high-level political forum. The theme of the Regional Forum is premised on a number of considerations and trends relating to poverty eradication. These include the now well-documented realization that economic growth in Africa has been inadequate to eradicate poverty. In addition, the growth generated has largely been unequal. Seven out of the ten most unequal countries in the world are in Africa. Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in Africa therefore hinges on fostering inclusive and sustainable growth and the attainment of gender quality and women’s empowerment is a critical dimension of inclusion in the region.
