The Congress will construct an overview of the several key factors in Africa's prospects for economic improvement, leading to the formulation of innovative and collaborative strategies for growth. A diverse range of expert speakers from various backgrounds will deliver lectures and workshops on the opportunities afforded to Africa to advance its position even further in the global economy. Discussions on the unification and harmonization of African economies will stimulate joint action in the fields of good governance, the economic empowerment of youth and women, and the branding of Africa as an attractive destination for tourism and investment. The incorporation of these elements into regional economic policy will raise the profile of Africa on the world stage, adding further momentum to the current rise of Africa.
