  4. 2. Regional Consultation on 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063 in Africa • AUC, ECA and AfDBorganized meetings with African countries members of the IAEG-SDGs to discussed the SDG indicators and came up with a common set of indicators. The indicators were categorized as global, regional and national indicators and were submitted to the IAEG-SDGs at its second meetingheldin Bangkok in October 2015 . (Verde, Senegal, Algeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, Uganda, Botswana) • September 2015 – Workshop of IAEG-SDG member countries and ASSD, AUC and ECA developed indicators for Agenda 2063 ten-year implementation plan • September 2015 – AUC, ECA and ASSD met and matched targets from Agenda 2063 plan to SDG targets (two-thirds of SDG targets overlap with targets from Agenda 2063 implementation plan)
