Why our Work Matters
The new decade presents tremendous opportunities for economic growth, trade, investments, and socio-economic transformation on the continent. With the realization of the African Continental Free Trade Area at the end of the last decade. Africa has never been better positioned to collectively address the challenges it faces and leverage the opportunities presented to it.
The opportunities at hand for Africa demanded a renewed and heightened urgency for COLLECTIVE ACTION AND COOPERATION by Africans from all sectors to engage, debate, and stimulate thinking on top priorities to pursue and advance for Africa’s common goals. On the other hand, Africa exists within an increasingly interconnected world that faces new and unique threats and opportunities. The accelerating shifts taking place in the international order coupled with technological advances and the emergence of an empowered Africa have led to unprecedented interests from global partners to participate in Africa’s development. As a result, Africa stands at the cups of a new commanding global position in its engagements with foreign partners.
