The annual Africa Week kicks off on Monday to showcase the Continent’s continuous advancements and achievements with respect to social, economic, political and environmental development. Africa Week will serve as an opportunity for dedicated substantive discussions on issues that are in line with the implementation set out in both agendas, according to the press statement from the UN Economic Commission for Africa. In addition, the two agendas are mutually reinforcing as they focus attention on inclusive and sustainable structural transformation across all dimensions of sustainability including governance, peace and security and sustainable development. It also serves as a strategic opportunity to mobilize international support at the global level for Africa’s development priorities and its inclusive transformative agenda. Participating in the dynamic set of activities this week are international development partners, the private sector, and civil society, which each add significant value in support of Africa’s aspirations.
