The 14th Africa Policy Circle conference was held in Lagos, Nigeria on the 17th and 18th of November 2022. This year’s theme, “Africa in the 2020s And Beyond-Challenges and Possibilities”, provided a platform for participants drawn from think tanks across Africa to unpack some of the critical challenges affecting the continent’s possibilities of economic recovery and ethical and political leadership.
With support from the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, the conference focused on two main themes: (i) Africa, Governance and Political leadership in 21st Century and (ii) Climate Change and its effect on Africa’s Food and Energy Security.
CSEA was represented by Dr. Chukwuka Onyekwena, Dr David Okorie, Drusilla David and John Chidera Victor.
