goal of this year’s event is to spur innovative strategies and encourage multisectoral
collaboration across Africa towards alleviating some of the biggest societal problems
such as–poverty, inequality, and unemployment. The dialogue aims to frame long-term
strategies towards building resilient and prosperous communities and institutions
across Africa.
