About this event
Casa Foundation is excited to host the annual Friends of Africa (FOA2021) Economic Summit. We look forward to welcoming a global community of influencers to FOA.
The global pandemic has had devastating effects worldwide. The impact of the pandemic in Africa has been challenging, with increased strains on local institutions and economies. african Development Bank (AfDB) projects a contraction of growth, that could lead to GDP losses of $300.5 billion and $288.7 billion in Africa by end of 2021.
Due to the pandemic and social distancing, the 11th annual FOA Summit will be organized as a Hybrid experience from October 1-3, 2021. Live viewing will be available for Registered delegates from outside Canada as well. The 3rd of October session is a Private Dinner session with VIPs.
