The 1st Africa Environment Partnership Platform will convene under the theme, ‘50 years of Environmental Governance and Sustainability in Africa’. The meeting will seek to, inter alia: enhance coordination of environmental management among stakeholders at all levels; mobilize sufficient resources for the implementation of Africa’s priority environmental programmes and projects; enhance linkages between Africa’s environment and key productive socioeconomic sectors such as trade, infrastructure and the extractive industry; enhance knowledge sharing and capacity development initiatives on the environment; and facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of environmental priority programmes and projects at regional and continental levels.
The meeting, organized by UN Environment and the African Union (AU), jointly with the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) Planning and Coordinating Agency, will take place back-to-back with the Seventh Special Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment.
The objective of the Africa Environment Partnership Platform is to promote sustainable environment management in Africa through enhanced partnership, coordination and harmonization of activities.
