On 17-21 May 2022, the 9th Africities Summit will be held in Kisumu, Kenya. The theme of the meeting is "The Role of Intermediary Cities of Africa in the Implementation of Agenda 2030 of the United Nations and the African Union Agenda 2063."
The event will gather African communities and local authorities representatives, as well as financial institutions, civil society groups and development partners at continental and international level in an effort to address its two goals: define appropriate shared strategies in order to improve the living conditions of people at the local level; and contribute to the integration, peace and unity of Africa starting from the grassroots.
The summit is organized with support from the African Union (AU), the Government of Morocco, the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the European Commission (EC), among others.
