AFC: Take Back Africa Summit 2018

on
Take Back Africa Summit is made up of young African millennials living in the diaspora with one goal in mind: How can we improve the betterment of the African continent and make it sustainable for future generations? We’ve attended various institutions and currently hold degrees and awards across the professional spectrum abroad. Our knowledge and skills ranges from non-governmental organizations, education, law, health, marketing, and technology. With these resources and staying in tune with current events back home, we believe that we are ripe to take on the challenges that Africa faces.















DESCRIPTION

SUMMIT OVERVIEW
The Take Back Africa Summit is the annual three days conference organized by the Take Back AfricaFoundation. The Take Back Africa Summit is a place where young African millennials seeking a safe space to produce innovative solutions in the realms of economic revitalization, infrastructure development, public health and education reform gather in fellowship. The goal of the summit is to create a platform for culturally responsive solutions for “African” disparities by “African” millennials. The goal of the summit is to inspires, equip and connect African diaspora millennials to resources and each other to start implementing solutions to disparities that exist on the continent.
