4th General Assembly of the Forum for Former African Heads of State and Government - Africa Forum

The fourth session of the General Assembly of the Forum for Former African Heads of State and Government (Africa Forum) will convene to discuss Africa’s development agenda under the theme “Strengthening the governance of Africa’s mineral resources, and combating illicit resource flows from the continent towards the effective implementation of Agenda 2063, the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”

Members of the Africa Forum share the view that, with the requisite capacity and appropriate mechanisms to promote governance and the optimal utilization of Africa’s natural resources, the continent will be able to meet the targets of Agenda 2063, the SDGs and the United Nations Agenda 2030 without relying on the good will of those with capacity outside Africa.

Membership of the Forum now stands at 44 with the admission of the former President of Mozambique, Armando Emilio Guebuza, the former President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Jakaya Kikwete, the former President of Namibia, Hifikepunye Pohamba, and the former President of the African Development Bank, Donald Kaberuka.

The meeting is exclusively for former African Heads of State and Government.
