Join the Fletcher School at Tufts University for their conference running under the theme, "Africa 2050: Making Growth Work," which is set to take place on Saturday, April 15, in a hybrid format at the Fletcher School. The conference brings together prominent African policymakers, scholars, politicians, activists, and entrepreneurs to discuss Africa's future. With Africa's population set to double by 2050, reaching nearly 2.5 billion, it is crucial to examine the economic, technological, urban, and socio-political transformations that will occur and their far-reaching implications for growth, human development, and sustainability on the continent.  

They have assembled an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, including Prof. Yemi Osinbanjo (Vice President of Nigeria), Chris Ogunmodede (World Politics Review), Jane Munga (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace), Jon Vandenheuvel (Small Farm Cities Africa), P.R. Martin Kimani (Kenyan Ambassador to the UN), and many more. Our conference sessions will cover a wide range of topics, including good governance, human rights, sustainability, and workforce preparation for Africa's youth.
