Uganda is set to host the 11th Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD) in April this year, President Yoweri Museveni has announced.

The president made the declaration after meeting a delegation led by Claver Gatete, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).

"I am pleased that Uganda has been chosen to host this summit, and I look forward to meaningful dialogue with African technical experts and political leaders," Museveni stated.

The ARFSD will provide a platform for African leaders to discuss strategies for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advancing the continent's development agenda.

President Museveni has been a vocal advocate for sustainable development, urging African nations to take ownership of their economic growth and environmental conservation efforts.

Hosting the forum presents a significant opportunity for Uganda to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development while sharing its progress and challenges with other African nations.

The event is expected to attract high-level dignitaries, fostering regional collaboration and driving policy discussions on Africa's development priorities.
