The African Capital Cities Sustainability Forum (ACCSF) draws together the political and technical leaders of the continent’s capital cities to provide a guiding light for how African cities must think about the future and lead sustainability efforts. It facilitates the exchange of knowledge and learning and provides a platform for exploring how to develop truly African solutions to African problems. The forum marshals the collective power of capital cities to contribute to, and influence, the pan-African and global discourse on sustainability.

ICLEI Africa, as the Secretariat the ACCSF, is responsible for serving the Mayors and cities of this forum. By bringing together mayors and city managers of African capital cities, ICLEI facilitates the exchange knowledge and information on potential interventions, opportunities and threats that influence the potential for economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
