The convening brought together a range of actors from different movements, sectors, and generations who are involved with contemporary struggles for African political and economic agency, and progressive alternatives to neoliberalism in Africa. The convening served as an in-person launch of our Post-Colonialisms Today publication, “Lessons to Africa from Africa: Reclaiming Early Post-independence Progressive Policies,” as well as a platform for exchanges around Africa’s contemporary development challenges, from monetary dependence to agricultural transformation, industrialisation, climate policy, and mineral extraction.
