The 9th ACP Summit of Heads of State and Government, themed “A Transformed ACP: Committed to Multilateralism”, will be preceded
by Ministerial Sessions from 6 to 8 December.
Since the 8th Summit in Papua New Guinea, significant developments have taken place which are reshaping the engagements between ACP Member States and the wider world. These changes imperatively call for the ACP Group to redefine its position and role with its traditional and potential development partners both internationally and regionally.
Objectives of the 9th ACP Summit:
- To endorse the outcome of the negotiations for a new 20-year ACP-EU Partnership Agreement;
- To review results and impacts of the work of the Group since 2016 and take stock of the implementation of the commitments made at the 8th Summit;
- To consider and adopt the revisions to the ACP’s Constitutive Act, the Georgetown Agreement;
- To provide political guidance on the way in which the Group redefines its vision and role to advance multilateralism;
- To give political leadership and guidance on ACP institutional structures to achieve sustainable development through Agenda 2030.
