20 April 2020 – Kisumu, Kenya – Access to a new resource has been added to the PM World Library (PMWL) related to solving regional problems. The new resource is titled African Leadership Forum and is Africa’s dedicated space for open and frank discussions about the challenges facing the continent, by the continent.
The African Leadership Forum (ALF) is an initiative organized by the Office of the Former President of the United Republic of Tanzania, H.E. Benjamin W. Mkapa, in conjunction with the Institute of African Leadership for Sustainable Development (UONGOZI Institute).
Each year, a different theme is determined based on inputs from the previous year and analysis. The topics are carefully selected to address the depths and gaps that are not often touched upon in the current global conferences – either because Africans are not setting the agendas or framing the discussions, or because of ignorance or shame. The real social, political, economic (and other) challenges facing the continent require that those entrusted to lead and steward the continent have opportunities to share, reflect, learn, deliberate on key challenges and collaborate to take maximum advantage of emerging opportunities. The ALF aims to address this ‘gap’ by bringing the key decision-makers and leaders together for these dialogues.
Participants represent public, private, and civil society organisations and actors. Particularly those engaged at the regional and continental levels. In particular, the ALF reflects on the institutional context(s) of Africa – where there are impediments, where there is potential, what is lacking, what is worth persevering with, and what is going well. In this way, the African Leadership Forum goes beyond merely an event, and is evolving into a community of eminent Africans concerned for and with the greater good of the continent and her people.
