When: Thursday, March 6th at 4.00 – 5.00 pm EAT

We hosted a webinar with leading experts Amolo Ngweno, Michelle Hassan, Sharmi Surianarain, Paul Breloff, and Ciku Kimeria to discuss Africa’s economic future in response to The Economist’s Africa Gap special report. While the report warns that the continent’s economic gap won’t close under a business-as-usual approach, our panel offered a more optimistic outlook, one driven by bold investment, thriving private sectors, and innovative policy solutions.
