The Agbogbomefia of Asogli, Togbe Afede XIV, has been invited to be a distinguished panelist at Harvard University’s Africa Development Conference (ADC) on the 12th and 13th of April 2024. The event aims to promote meaningful discourse on Africa’s development and bring together influential figures to discuss policies and partnerships for Africa’s future.
This year’s theme, “Africa Delivers: Pragmatic Paths to Prosperity,” will highlight Africa’s progress and potential in various sectors such as law, governance, economics, business, technology, and more. The conference will feature a panel discussion on trading in and with Africa, where Togbe’s expertise in trade and commerce, as the Executive Chairman of World Trade Centre Accra and a member of the Board of the World Trade Centres Association, will be invaluable.
The organizers believe Togbe’s deep engagement in trade and commerce, and his contributions to the establishment of companies, demonstrate his expertise in finance, economics, corporate advisory, and infrastructure development – all crucial aspects of trade in Africa. His insights are expected to enrich the discussion on the transformative potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and sustainable trade partnerships, contributing to Africa’s development journey.
The inclusion of Togbe Afede XIV in the conference as a distinguished panelist not only honors his contributions to economic development in Africa but also provides a forum for him to share his vision for the continent and his insights into strategic approaches for overcoming infrastructure deficits and ensuring energy security.
The Harvard Africa Development Conference 2024 is expected to offer actionable insights and foster partnerships instrumental in unlocking Africa’s economic potential. The event underscores the significance of leveraging African leaders’ knowledge and experience to propel the continent towards sustainable development.
