The 2024 AFRO-PACT SUMMIT
The Future of the Black Diaspora: Bridging the Gap to Strengthen the Impact
September 26-27, 2024
Afro-PACT Diaspora Engagement Summit
In a mission to mobilize people of African descent worldwide, with a collective vision of fostering cooperation and promoting economic empowerment. By focusing on sustainable growth in Africa, Afro-PACT seeks to harness the potential of the Diaspora, beginning with Black communities in America. As a starting point, the organization has targeted three key West African nations—Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal—based on their communication capabilities, political stability, affordability, and openness to collaboration. The core challenges Afro-PACT aims to address include the fragmentation of the global Black Diaspora and a lack of unified leadership, both of which hinder Africa's potential for transformative social, economic, and political change on an international scale.
This Summit is an essential step toward strengthening the ties between the African Diaspora and Africa itself, aligning efforts to build collective power that can reshape the future of the continent.
“In each of us An Afrikan mind will be the basis for creating anything Afrikan nothing Afrikan is created without an Afrikan mind that is Creative.”
