The 2020 forum is planned to take place at the Dar Es Salaam Serena Hotel in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania under the heading “Green Solutions in Cities”, with the following focus areas:-

Green Solutions in Cities is an area of great importance worldwide, not the least in the EAC countries with a fast urbanization requesting efficient solutions to cover for the implications on health, security and environment. Sweden has a strong business sector capable of offering not only financially sustainable solutions, but also capacity building within the area.
