Implementing the UN 2030 Agenda & its SDGs: What are African Parliaments Doing?
线上活动
About the Event
When the UN launched the SDGs in 2015, it marked the onset of an attempt to address global inequality. Today, the SDGs are undoubtedly a universal aspiration that is grounded in global, continental, regional and national realities. Across Africa, there is an effort to review development planning visions, align them with the SDGs, and set out country priorities carefully. UNGA Resolution 70/1 calls for parliament’s involvement by encouraging States to conduct regular and inclusive reviews of progress at the national and subnational levels which are country-led and country-driven. While all SDGs call for parliamentary involvement, SDG 16 expressly refers to the specific role of Parliaments. This proposed webinar, jointly facilitated by the APNODE Secretariat at the AfDB, and CLEAR-AA, will have the Chairperson of APNODE – Hon. Evelyn Mpagi Kaabule (Uganda) and Hon. Stanley Kakubo, Interim Chairperson of Zambia APNODE National Chapter sharing their insights on how MPs can assist countries to achieve their SDG targets.
