About this program

We bring emerging leaders, negotiators, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners into informed exchange on shared policy priorities. Our dialogues create space to examine different perspectives, test ideas and identify questions that need further attention.

The African Youth Dialogue Series is a signature platform for this work, connecting emerging African voices with policy experience and expertise. Dialogue briefs help carry the substance of these exchanges into wider discussion.
