From November 16 to 20, 2026, Luanda will host a meeting of the African Union’s Specialized Technical Committee on Health, Nutrition, Population, and Drug Control, under the theme: “Breaking Sectoral Barriers: Strengthening Integrated Systems for Health, Nutrition, Population, and Drug
The meeting aims to foster an integrated, cross-sectoral approach, encouraging the coordination of policies, strategies, and intervention mechanisms capable of addressing key challenges affecting public health systems, food and nutritional security, population dynamics, and drug control across the African continent.
This initiative also provides an opportunity for African Union Member States to strengthen cooperation, share experiences, and identify joint solutions that contribute to the development of human capital, the improvement of living conditions, and the enhancement of countries’ capacity to respond to social and health-related challenges.
Holding this meeting in Luanda aligns with the objectives of the African Union’s Agenda 2063—”The Africa We Want”—which sets out a strategic vision for building a prosperous, integrated, and resilient continent, founded on sustainable development, the promotion of human capital, and the well-being of its citizens.
