On the occasion of Africa Day, Sciences Po Alumni with the support of the Cercle Afrique organises a meeting gathering alumni from all African chapters with Dr. Folashadé Soulé-Kohndou (promo M2009 & DOC2014), Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford (School of Government), in order to discuss on the topic of "Africa's summit diplomacy".
A week after the 18 May Paris "Africa financial summit", where President Macron will propose to sign a "New Deal for financing Africa", Sciences Po Alumni analyses the growing number of summits between Africa and great powers or regional actors.
Folashadé Soulé-Kohndou will analyse the stakes behind this dynamism, by recentring the debate on African countries' economic and diplomatic interests.
During the second part of the meeting, Sciences Po Alumni invites you to exchange best practices of engagement and involvement of the alumni network in Africa. How to improve cooperation and solidarity of alumni abroad and which common and crosswise projects to be developed?
Come to discuss and share your experience with Martine Bournerias, Sciences Po Alumni Vice-president, Bernard El Ghoul, Sciences Po Alumni Executive Director and Camilla Pagani, consultant, international development at Sciences Po Alumni.
