Major African Think Tank Networking Meeting Next Week

In three days, think tank leaders, academics, business leaders, and policymakers from Africa and around the world will convene in Mombasa, Kenya for the Inter Region Economic Network (IREN)’s 6th Annual Resource Bank meeting. Taking place from November 9-12, 2008 at the White Sands Beach Resort, the meeting will focus on how Africa can utilize its natural resources to raise the living standards of its people. “The event is very important for Africa since it is expected to discuss the importance of building institutions and frameworks that will facilitate a peaceful and profitable exploitation of natural resources for the benefit of the African people,”says James Shikwati, the Director of IREN, a Nairobi-based think tank.

If you are interested in attending the event, please contact IREN’s Events Manager, Anne Mugoya, at 020-2731497 or by email. For a report about this event, stay tuned to this space.
