About the Event
11 - 14 DECEMBER 2024
The 7th Africa Political Summit will bring together a diverse group of elected officials, public affairs professionals, and political decision-makers from across Africa and beyond. Savvypol Consulting Group is the Event organizer
Building on the success of the previous summit, which focused on the vital role of women in politics, this year’s theme, “Building Resilient Democracies: Elections, Transitions, and Governance,” aims to delve into the heart of democratic processes. The summit will explore the challenges and opportunities that come with organizing free and fair elections, managing peaceful transitions of power, and ensuring effective governance in the face of global changes.
Participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions, workshops, and networking events designed to foster collaboration and share best practices. The summit will serve as a beacon for those committed to strengthening democracy and governance across the continent, ensuring that African nations are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the 21st century.
Join us in Zanzibar for an enlightening four days of dialogue, learning, and partnership, as we work together to build democracies that are not only resilient but also inclusive and representative of all citizens.
