Concept:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2020, Africa has faced major setbacks due to COVID-19, inflation, and rising global interest rates?intensifying debt, weakening public services, and reversing progress on the SDGs and Agenda 2063. These pressures have worsened conflicts and humanitarian challenges, coupled with 2025 bringing further reductions in development aid. This side event will explore how African and Japanese civil society can co-create people-centred, decolonized approaches to development. It will examine how grassroots action, citizen accountability, and stronger cross-regional partnerships can accelerate implementation of the SDGs and Agenda 2063 despite global instability. Participants will reflect on civil society\u2019s role in driving inclusive, sustainable change in Africa?and how Japan-Africa solidarity can support a thriving future.<\/p>\n
