Web Icon 22

Exchanging knowledge and experiences and creating partnerships with people who share the same challenges is a great way for ACCP members to inspire future actions for creating clean cities and shifting towards a circular economy.

ACCP Assemblies are organized to share knowledge and experiences every 3 years in conjunction with TICAD (Tokyo International Conference on African Development). ​

After the first two successful meetings held in Rabat, Morocco 2018, and Yokohama, Japan in 2019, the third Assembly hosted by Tunis took place on 25 - 29 July 2022 at 09:00-12:00 GMT/ 10:00-13:00 WAT/ 11:00-14:00 CAT/ 12:00-15:00 EAT, one month before TICAD 8. The ACCP members met to capture the outcomes of activities laid out in Yokohama Action Guidance as well as agreed on the ACCP activities in the coming three years. Supported by digital technologies and the new online format there were opportunities for discussions and business networking.

Some technological innovations extract energy from waste or turn waste into valuable materials and products. The 3rd ACCP Assembly attempts to accelerate this innovation process by connecting various actors in the private sector to participants.
