#HLPF Update: Roundtable co-hosted by Chair of #G77 & the UN Regional Commissions: Theme: “Technology & innovation for sustainable development: regional experiences to promote youth employment and address inequality” Date: 17th July. In NYC? Register: rcnyomeetings.org/HLPF2018

#HLPF2018 “Growth going up on the continent IS reaching 3.2% but is sustained or resilient. Vulnerable foundations of growth require countries to pay attention to resource mobilization for economic diversification and infrastructure development” -@SongweVera

#ECA will continue to work with member States to assist them to integrate #Agenda2063 & #2030Agenda into #national #development #plans to ensure there's #inclusive growth on the continent, says @ECA_OFFICIAL's Director Adam Elhiraika in closing #HLPD2018. #leavenoonebehind

Elhiraika says #Africa will only achieve #SDGs if it mobilizes enough resources from public, private, local & international sources, adding @ECA_OFFICIAL will continue to work on the costing & #financing of the #SDGs & #Agenda2063. #leavenoonebehind #selfreliance #collaboration

“#Energy remains the Achilles heel for accelerating growth & economic diversification. 47 % of population have access to clean affordable energy & only 17 % of rural population. The last mile is a challenge despite progress. ECA is working to find regional solutions” @SongweVera
