1:28:06Now PlayingHome to burgeoning economies and brutal civil conflicts -- sometimes coexisting in the same country -- Africa is increasingly prominent in the foreign policy agendas of world powers. In early August, President Obama will convene most of the heads of state of the 54 nations of Africa in Washington, D.C. for the first-ever summit between U.S. and African leaders. There will be no shortage of issues to discuss, from how to harness Africa's economic growth and lift large sections of its population out of poverty, to growing trade between the U.S. and Africa, to concerns about closing political space in some countries, among many other topics.
In anticipation of the summit, the U.S. Institute of Peace is pleased to host a conversation with some of the foremost thinkers and policymakers on U.S.-Africa relations. This panel of experts will discuss themes that could, and should, be prioritized in the summit, as well as strategies for strengthening relations between the U.S. and Africa. Join the conversation on Twitter with #AfricaPolicy.
