Concept note: Regional preparatory workshop for African voluntary national reviews and voluntary local reviews : strengthening integration and reporting on the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063

Abstract

Regional preparatory workshop for African voluntary national reviews and voluntary local reviews: strengthening integration and reporting on the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. The 2023 workshop is taking place at a pivotal stage of the continent’s implementation of the two agendas. The year 2023 marks the end of the first 10-year implementation plan of Agenda 2063 and the halfway point for the 2030 Agenda. The workshop also comes after the twenty-seventh session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was hosted in Africa and focused on a number of climate-finance issues that are critical to the continent. The workshop will conclude with a joint session, co-hosted by the African Institute for Economic Development and Planning and the United Nations Foundation, that will facilitate dialogue and experience-sharing among former and current voluntary national review countries and with relevant stakeholders from the region.
