Located in the heart of International Geneva, Africa 21 is a Think Tank expected to stimulate thinking, exchanges on the practices of stakeholders in the field of sustainable development on the African continent. As part of its mandate, it plans to launch an annual event during which all the stakeholders of International Geneva involved in Africa, could talk, exchange, share experiences, visions, points of view and reflexions for more coordination, consistency and success, but also think about the future of the continent and about the evolution of practices and tendencies that will shape the Africa of tomorrow.
The Africa 2050 Forum, organized by Africa 21, will be held in Geneva on June 12-13 2023 under the theme "Africa at the heart of International Geneva". It is also available in an online format.
Three major themes will be examined for this first edition:
- African Cities and Ways of life.

- The Challenges of Water in Africa.
