The theme of the tenth session regional Forum was \u201cReinforcing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, of the African Union and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: the effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, the Member States and their partners are past midway in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and yet progress on most SDGs is off-track \u2013 \u201cprogress on most of the SDGs is either moving much too slowly or has regressed below the 2015 baseline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Therefore, achieving the SDGs by the set deadline of 2030 is contingent on stepping up implementation through ambitious and bold solutions and action. For Africa, integrated implementation of the SDGs and the Agenda 2063 is essential and actions and solution to achieve both are needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ARFSD-10 was a timely opportunity to address shortcomings and capitalize on emerging opportunities to ensure robust, accelerated and timely implementation of the SDGs and Agenda 2063. The Forum also mobilized effective African engagement in the Summit of the Future to be held in September 2024 and generated Africa\u2019s priorities and inputs to the Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Objectives Of The Forum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The objectives of the tenth session of the Regional Forum are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To review progress, challenges, and opportunities in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063.
