Recognizing the existing challenges of limited coordination due to different geographical location of the different UN agencies, the absence of a fully integrated joint work plan, and insufficient financial resources, the African RCP OIBC 4 2025 retreat aimed at developing a comprehensive joint work plan and a robust resource mobilization strategy.

The retreat took place after the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development-11 (ARFSD), on April 12, 2025, at the Speke Resort, Munyonyo, Uganda, and brought together key stakeholders to foster collaboration, define shared priorities, and outline concrete actions for enhanced impact and reporting of results.

The retreat provided a critical opportunity for OIBC-4 to strengthen its coordination, increase commitment of members, increase the number participating agencies, develop a shared vision, and mobilize resources for impactful joint actions. By working collaboratively, OIBC-4 members and partners are engaged in making significant strides in addressing the complex challenges facing Africa and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
