Report of the thirty-second Session of the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts
The establishment of a common framework for agenda 2030 and agenda 2063 should lead to greater coherence in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and facilitate the work of partners to support a coherent set of development priorities. It was in this spirit that African heads of state and government adopted in 2015 the framework for a new partnership between the United Nations and the African Union for the integration and development agenda for Africa. This framework would serve as a global platform for cooperation between the two institutions to support member states in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the two agendas. The main theme of the thirty-second session of ICE was: youth employment and sustainable development, but more generally, decent work, which was a central theme of the two development agendas, as reflected in sustainable development goal of the 2030 agenda and one of the seven aspirations of agenda 2063. Africa had the world's youngest population with 200 million people aged 15-24. The situation of this age group remained directly linked to that of the labor market. This was one of the major challenges facing the sub region, and continued to hamper social progress. Unemployment remained structurally high in all countries, and revealed significant disparities according to age, gender and geographical location. The report on the regional profile focused on the following points: Global and regional economic context; Economic performance of North Africa; Social development in North Africa; Territorializing of industrial policy and inclusive development in North Africa.
