“The forum will provide a platform to reflect on the journey thus far, take stock of the challenges and opportunities and forecast prospects for Africa’s future,” said the statement.
The African Leadership Forum will bring together selected number of key influential leaders and thinkers across the continent, including former heads of state or government, as well as leaders from the business sector, government, civil society and academia.
This platform should be used to harness the wisdom of previous leaders to chart the way forward for tackling the many challenges that face our continent.
ReplyDeleteEnough discussing! You will discuss for how much longer! Do something!!! And I hope you will involve youth groups in your 'discussions' because you as elders are so far removed from the realities facing communities at the grass roots level. That's where change has to begin and transformation can only succeed when each community is held responsible for it's own. One community at a time! Stop talking and do something. Actions speak louder than words!
