12-13 October 2022 in Accra, Ghana
The event brought together stakeholders from across Africa to take stock of progress and discuss challenges and opportunities for advancing the business and human rights agenda and promoting corporate accountability in the region.
The Forum was convened by the African Union (AU) and co-organised with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), in close collaboration with local, regional and international actors. The Forum was kindly hosted by the Government of the Republic of Ghana.

The Forum was envisioned as an annual event providing a coherent continental platform for discussing how to promote and ensure business respect for human rights in Africa. The Forum provided an invaluable opportunity for stakeholders, including AU member States, businesses, and civil society, to learn about progress and challenges, to share best practices, to identify needs, and engage in peer-learning through constructive dialogue.
