This official side event provided an opportunity to convene key Commonwealth stakeholders, share good practice and present the Call to Action and explore opportunities to mobilise the Commonwealth to identify priorities and actions to advance the initiative.
It directly contributed to the overarching CHOGM theme of Delivering a Common Future: Connecting, Innovating, Transforming and complemented the work undertaken in other forums.
People are at the heart of the Commonwealth agenda and this event focused on approaches that ensure citizens are at the heart of making cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Recognising that 60% of the Commonwealth population is under 30, there was a focus on integrating the voices of young leaders and professionals into the dialogue.
This interactive programme provided a natural segue into the closing segment of the business, organised by the Rwanda Development Board and supported by the Commonwealth Enterprise & Investment Council.
