High-Level Panel on the Regional Consultations, 9th Pan-African Congress, Lomé

We are pleased to announce that during the 9th Pan-African Congress in Lomé, a high-level panel was convened to formally present the outcomes of the regional conferences organized in preparation for this major continental gathering, which will take place from December 8 to 12, 2025.

These regional consultations, held across 2023 and 2024, played a crucial role in shaping the vision, priorities, and recommendations feeding into the Congress. They brought together experts, policymakers, civil society actors, and members of the African diaspora to reflect on the renewal of Pan-Africanism and Africa’s position in global governance.
