Africa is at a decisive moment in its history. As the continent with the youngest population and a growing middle class, it is charting a path of structural transformation that will unleash the potential of its emerging markets to create a powerhouse of sustainable growth.

​This year’s edition of the Africa Development Conference at Harvard University will bring together influential players to further the debate and share progressive policies and practices for a better future for Africa. The conference is designed to support Africa’s expedited structural transformation by offering a platform that advances intellectual and practical debate and enhances partnerships between governments and investors in rebranding and reshaping Africa in the international development arena. This reshaping will require a comprehensive evaluation of development with considerations from the fields of law, government, technology, health, education, design, media, and more.
