On 1-2 December 2022, the African Development Bank (AfDB) will host a hybrid policy dialogue on leveraging the African Diaspora for inclusive growth and sustainable development in Africa.
The policy dialogue aims to bring together thought leaders from the African diaspora, certified global experts, global institutions and African experts to discuss implementable policies, strategies and instruments for harnessing the African diaspora for inclusive growth and sustainable development. It will also provide an opportunity for the AfDB to open a channel of direct dialogue with the African diaspora on how better to collaborate to bring lasting solutions to developmental challenges on the continent.
The AfDB will host an in-person event in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, while the African Union Commission will host an event in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Partner institutions will offer corresponding events in several cities around the world, which will be livestreamed to Abidjan to enable a unified dialogue on the same day.
