Program

The New York Forum AFRICA is organized around a number of major debates that examine the key economic and business issues for Africa today, with key themes to include trade, transparency and trust, investment, infrastructure, and growth.

The debates are structured into the 6 Is that encompass so much of today’s African agenda: Independence, Investment, Incubation, Innovation, Infrastructure, and Inspiration. Taken together, the “Six I’s” provide the essential groundwork for a concrete plan of action.

We have built an agenda that addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by a growing Africa; but also focuses on the outcome of this year’s Forum – a manifesto that will be presented to the G8 Summit in the days after the New York Forum AFRICA and CEMAC Summit.

This manifesto will lay out, in the clearest terms, the objectives and challenges of African leaders and businesspeople, written by Africa for Africa.
