“THE AFRICA WE WANT’’

The multiple interventions and different responses of African countries to the COVID-19 pandemic, coordination of medical provision and knowledge-sharing networks, underscored the continued commitment of African countries need for regional collaboration and integration. As humanity comes under the most devastating scourge of a virus in modern lifetime, it has become necessary to review the collective and shared intentions for the great continent of Africa. This summit presents an opportunity to further the conversations and network around the shared values of progress, development, and advancement for our continent. The theme will be discussed by a group of speakers and panelists with cognate experience from various sectors across the continent.
