Virtual Event

The central theme will be -- Achieving Food Security, Economic Transformation, Human Development and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This auspicious gathering will take place virtually on SEPTEMBER 28th, 2021 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM (EST - Washington, DC). Kindly review the attached Concept Note, Conference Agendaand convenient Promotional Flyer. Conference organizers' note that "Africa is replete with fertile yet uncultivated arable land, enormously rich river basins under-used for irrigation - all in an abundantly favorable climate. Yet, the continent spends over 60 percent of its hard-earned foreign exchange on food import". Thus, we confront the African development paradox.
