Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>It is time for Africa to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals, United Nations Deputy Secretary General, Amina Mohammed, said on February 28 at the 9th Session of the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD-9) in Niamey, Niger, calling for greater leadership, commitment and investment in achieving the SDGs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a common understanding that through Africa-led solutions born on African soil we can change course and rise to the challenge of achieving Agenda 2063 and the SDGs,\u201d Mohamed told delegates.<\/p>\n

“World leaders must set clear ambitions to reduce poverty and inequality by 2030 and must do this by making investments in Africa, investment in our economies, investment in our people especially our women and youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The forum was organized jointly by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the Government of Niger and other partners on the theme \u201cAccelerating the inclusive and green recovery from multiple crises and the integrated and full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three-day event reviewed progress in the implementation of five selected Sustainable Development Goals on clean water and sanitation; affordable and clean energy; industry, innovation, and infrastructure; sustainable cities and communities; and partnerships for the Goals.<\/p>\n

Citing rising intra-Africa trade and the potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in lifting 30 million Africans out of poverty, the Deputy Secretary General highlighted that African leaders have endorsed sustainable industrialization and economic diversification as key to Africa\u2019s development. She added that emerging green and digital technologies must be harnessed to serve Africa.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the SDGs Summit in September 2023, Mohamed urged African leaders to set clear ambitions to reduce poverty and inequality by 2030 through leveraging financing and aligning clear SDG commitments to national institutions and budgets.<\/p>\n

President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger noted that his country was experiencing challenges such as conflict and food insecurity as a result of climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should all be convinced that the realization of real progress on the Agenda 2063 and the 2030 Agenda must happen through the promotion of a fair planet, which is inclusive of economic growth and the protection of the environment,\u201d Bazoum said.<\/p>\n

Monique Nsanzabaganwa, AUC Deputy Chairperson, said both Agenda 2023 and Agenda 2063 \u201cremain robust and essential blueprints for transformation and realizing the well-being of the peoples of the Africa we want.\u201d<\/p>\n

ECA\u2019s Acting Executive Secretary, Antonio Pedro, noted that digital technologies will be crucial to fueling Africa\u2019s transformation.<\/p>\n

E-Commerce, for example, is set to grow by 50% in Africa by 2025, he said. To this end, he added, \u201cwe must bridge the digital divide,\u201d particularly along gender lines to ensure true inclusion, and unleash the potential of the fourth industrial revolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusiness as usual will not work for Africa,\u201d he said, noting that Africa would revisit some of the SDGs, including SDG 9 to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
