At DAWSUN we believe that the myriad social and economic challenges facing the African continent can be solved by the people in Africa, in partnership with global developmental institutions. We believe that the continent must look inward to devise its own path to prosperity and sustainable development.

DAWSUN’s I-PAD forum is an annual event that brings together more than 50 leading experts in government and academia from all over the world. Speakers deliver high quality research, policy recommendations and expert analysis on a full range of public policy issues and developmental challenges facing Africa and the African diaspora.
