More details below:

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 virtual experience from October 1-2, 2021. Live viewing will be available for Registered delegates from outside Canada as well.
