The RCM-Africa session has been aligned with the ministerial conference so as to allow for senior United Nations officials to engage directly with ministers and senior officers responsible for finance, planning and economic development on pertinent issues related to Africa's development agenda in order to improve the coordination, collaboration and delivery through the mechanism. The meeting is expected to emerge with concrete proposals on how the UN can effectively support the implementation of the Agenda and the 4 year strategic plan of the AU, especially with regards to the continental integration agenda.

Among other issues, the meeting will consider the second triennial review of the Ten Year capacity Building Programme for the AU and address the need to mobilize resources for its implementation.
