The Arab Forum for Sustainable Development (AFSD) brings together Arab Governments and a broad range of stakeholders to address sustainable development priorities from a regional perspective, discuss progress, review national experiences, and enhance the region’s voice at the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
AFSD advocates an inclusive and participatory approach to the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda, providing a platform for dialogue among government representatives, parliamentarians, academia, the private sector, regional intergovernmental bodies, civil society organizations, and young people, among others.
AFSD is organized annually by ESCWA, in collaboration with the League of Arab States and other United Nations entities operating in Arab countries.
AFSD-2021 is convened under the theme “Accelerating progress on the 2030 Agenda post-COVID” and will review SDGs 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16 and 17.
AFSD-2021 provides a unique forward-looking opportunity to review the Arab region’s development trajectory, discuss practical approaches to tackle the pandemic and consider the extent to which current and future development planning and policies support SDG implementation.
