About AAD

More than half a century after formal independence, Africans and people living in the diaspora have yet to enjoy full political, economic, social, cultural and environmental freedom, sovereignty and self-determination.

The vision of the Africa and African Diaspora Conference is to act as a global representative for the African continent and from all regions in the world where people of African descent are found.

The 10 thematic areas of the conference are

Towards a democratic and equitable international order

Economic liberation and self-determination

Reparatory justice, life and debt in Africa and the diaspora

Pan-Africanism with all, for all

Decolonizing knowledge

Black lives matter globally

Building bridges between Africa and its diaspora

Freedom of migration, border control and hospitality

Pan-Africanism and spirituality

Climate change and climate justice
