Feedback from 2023

“I really value how targeted The Africa Debate is. Having a deep dive into a particular sector, and placing that into the broader context within both the public and private sector is unique.”
Dolika Banda, Non-Executive Director, British International Investment
“Africa has to industrialise - The Africa Debate has really brought this full-circle, taking a look at it through different prisms. It has also brought in the untouchables to the table.”
