Strengthening US-Africa partnership in a changing world order

Perspectives from Africa program directors of DC-based think tanks

Tuesday, March 19, 2024, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. EST
The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave. NW. Washington, D.C.

In recent years, several think tanks in Washington D.C. have established an Africa program. These programs cover diverse issue  areas, ranging from development  financing, regional integration, and trade to governance, energy, climate change, and peace and security. The directors of these programs play key roles in informing U.S.-Africa policy, testifying in Congress as well as building relationships with leaders on the continent.

On March 19, the Africa Growth Initiative at Brookings invites you to a conversation on strengthening the U.S.-Africa partnership during a time of heightened geopolitical and geoeconomic tensions. This event will convene a panel of think tank Africa program directors to discuss their respective priorities in the year ahead and measures to strengthen U.S.-Africa trade, commercial, and economic relations.
