The commemoration of Africa Day this year comes at a rather difficult time when most of the world’s attention has shifted to the fight against COVID-19. During this unusual period, AUDA-NEPAD has decided to combine reflection and joy as we commemorate Africa Day. Please join the AUDA-NEPAD CEO and his guests to reflect on the Conducive Conditions for Development in Africa.

The African Union theme for 2020 is ‘Silencing the guns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa's Development.’ In celebrating Africa Day this year, we will therefore focus on efforts to accelerate and amplify Africa’s economic and social development as requisite conditions to silencing the guns.

The topics covered will include opportunities to be leveraged on during and post COVID-19 pandemic; the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretary-General and what’s in it for entrepreneurs; the resilience of Africans in face of COVID-19; Bringing an end to civil violence by enabling youth to become economically independent and champions of peace, and; Africanness for #TheAfricaWeWant!
