RBF Africa 2018 set for June
Global Initiatives and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will be hosting the second Annual Responsible Business Forum (RBF) on Sustainable Development Africa from 25-27 June 2018 in Johannesburg.
Under the theme 'Transforming Africa’s development through innovation, youth, and technology', RBF Africa 2018 will bring together leaders from business, government, UN agencies and NGOs to focus on partnerships to accelerate the rate of development, address inequalities and find new ways to create fair and decent employment.
After the positive response last year, RBF Africa 2018 will again bring more than 400 delegates together to address and share their vision for an equitable and prosperous future in Africa. The forum will align with the African Union’s Agenda 2063, a vision for an integrated and peaceful continent, a vision encompassed by the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs).
“UNDP is strongly committed to working with the business community in accelerating implementation of the SDGs. We cannot succeed in attaining the SDGs without inspired and committed business leaders helping to shape an inclusive, sustainable economy. We need to deepen our partnership and act decisively together to create more robust conditions for achieving all the SDGs across the world. We believe that RBF is a key platform in this,” said Lamin Manneh, director, UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa.
