AfDB, Mandela Institute for Development Stories to start African dialogue series

The African Development Bank (AfDB) is partnering with the Mandela Institute for Development Stories (Minds) to launch its dialogue series.

The dialogue will first start in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on April 17-18, 2012.

The AfDB, in a statement, said the main topic of discussion will be “In a World and an Africa that is changing fast and fundamentally, how can Africa best prepare its leaders of tomorrow?”

The dialogue series will bring together key African stakeholder groups to interrogate current challenges in Africa’s development efforts, to discuss innovative approaches and to offer up options for policy formulation and implementation on governance, economic development and the evolution of African institutions, the Bank indicated.

The Mandela Institute for Development Studies is an Africa-wide think tank that seeks to address the short, medium, and long-term development challenges of Africa in a holistic and comprehensive manner and always with the African Heritage as a point of reference.
