At the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development that kicked-off this week, ECA’s Special Advisor on SDGs, informed the delegates that the SDGs and Africa’s Agenda 2063 “provide an opportunity for Africa to recast its transformation agenda within the framework of sustainable development.” Highlighting some levels of congruence between Agenda 2063 and the SDGs, she discussed a number of efforts underway to harness the synergies of both agendas. The overall goal of the session was to consider sustainable development from a regional perspective, highlight key regional priorities, and promote inter-regional peer-learning. Experiences from across the globe were shared by sister Regional Economic Commissions, while sensitizing the global audience to regional contexts, specificities and challenges in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
