“As part of the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Africa Progress Panel (APP), the APP organized a debate moderated by the BBC’s Zeinab Badawi. The debate aims to draw attention to the state of Africa in 2010: the year of the World Cup on African soil, 10 year follow-up on the Millennium Declaration, and 5 year post the Gleneagles G8 Summit commitments.

Four panelists address issues in front of an informed audience consisting of experts on African governance, economics, social and political affairs, including distinguished African figures.”
