Roundtable on Accelerating Development in Africa’s Borderlands

June 11, 2024

We were honoured to be alongside UNDP Brussels Representation Office and ECDPM at a roundtable discussion entitled “Accelerating Development in Africa’s Borderlands”.
The focus of the roundtable was on sparking exchanges on development beyond Africa’s bustling capitals, specifically in borderland regions whose potential is yet untapped.
Though burdened by climate change, poverty, and conflict, these regions hold immense potential for growth and innovation.

Speakers Kehinde Ayodeji Bolaji, Ph.D, Bruce Byiers, Ikal Ang’elei and Kristoffer Tangri moderated interactive discussions on:

• Investing in borderland communities: Unlocking socio-economic opportunities, addressing gender inequalities, and enabling private sector-driven growth.

• Connecting with the EU’s evolving Africa Plan: Contributing to strategic opportunities and priorities for accelerating SDG development in Africa.

• Highlighting the unique dynamics of border regions: Sharing insights into the challenges and opportunities these areas present for achieving peace, security, and development across the continent.

With additional remarks by Camilla Brückner and Georges van Montfort
