Nairobi - June 2024
The African Public Square, under the auspices of the African Leadership Centre, Nairobi and in partnership with Nation TV, launched in June 2024 the maiden edition of the African Public Square Debate. This intergenerational and pan-African platform that seeks to roll back the eroded agency of Africa in an emerging new world order afflicted with crises.
