In September 2019, Heads of State and Government gathered at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to follow up and comprehensively review progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This marked the first UN summit on the SDGs since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda in September 2015.

In this third edition of the Banjul Forum, the young people of Africa have decided to focus on the leadership roles that young people of the continent can play to make sure that the SDGs are achieved on the continent (do better than we did with the MDGs), and that the AU Agenda 2063 is fully implemented and the AU vision, that we share, of a sovereign, prosperous, united, peaceful continent democratically governed by its own citizens, is realized.
