H.E. @MosesVilakati, Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment at the @_AfricanUnion Commission, took the stage to unpack the thinking behind the Africa Urban Forum.

Established in 2022, the Forum was designed to convene political leadership, policy dialogue, and partnerships shaping Africa’s urban agenda.

Since the first forum in Ethiopia in 2024, the conversation has shifted from dialogue to delivery, as ideas begin to take shape in real, inclusive, and resilient cities across the continent, with Kenya emerging as a benchmark.
