Development Dialogue 2022 is Africa’s leading annual thought-leadership Conference designed for NGO Leaders, Development Practitioners, Non-profit Professionals, Social Innovators, Impact-driven Entrepreneurs, Political Leaders, and Changemakers across Nigeria and Africa to engage and learn from diverse experts in a one-day memorable conference that will transform their minds and provide clarity on the governance and leadership structure to achieve the Nigeria and the Africa of “Our Dreams”.
The 8th edition of Development Dialogue is themed: “Good Governance & Public Policy: The Roadmap to Rebuilding the Nation”. When considering a better future in Africa, we cannot ignore our leadership system, because a nation or a Continent is a reflection of its leadership. Leaders shape and mould their countries in the form they want, and determine the course of events and actions in their countries.
This year’s conference will connect and bring together African leaders from all walks of life who have taken the lead to initiate policies and structures on good governance in Nigeria, and across the African Continent.
The Discussions at the 2022 Development Dialogue (virtual conference) will be anchored on:
Welcome Address
Keynote Speech
Youth Spotlight Chat
Spoken Word
Panel Sessions
African Playlet
Q and A
Open House Discussion
