The US-Africa Leaders Summit: One Year Later
January 11, 2024 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Africa Program
About the Event
In December 2022, the US-Africa Leaders Summit was held in Washington, D.C. Attended by representatives from forty-nine African countries and the African Union, it was focused on deepening and expanding the US-Africa partnership and giving voice to Africans in meeting current global challenges.
Just over one year since this ground-breaking meeting, three noted African scholars, Professor Krista Johnson of Howard University, Joshua Meservey of the Hudson Institute, and Michael Walsh, a senior fellow in FPRI’s Africa Program, join Africa Program Chair Charles Ray to discuss the progress, if any, on implementing the program outlined in the summit.
FPRI is happy to provide this event free of charge thanks to the generous support of our members, partners, and event attendees. If you are not currently a member, the suggested donation is $25.
