TITLE: Case Study: Africa
TIME: Full Day
ROOM: 2245
SUMMARY: Policy policy debate around Africa often centers around the myriad of challenges, whether that be conflict, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, or the lack of good governance and entrenched corruption in many countries. While it’s important to both acknowledge and understand the implications of these challenges, we feel it’s time for fresh debate. This day-long case study on Canada’s relationship with Africa will be based on a somewhat different and perhaps radical set of assumptions: that Canada’s relationship with Africa is important to both parties (Whether this is currently recognized or acknowledged is another question) – that there’s a wealth of opportunity for both Canada and Africa to benefit enormously from that relationship. The goal of this case study, organized by members of Engineers Without Borders and the Africa Canada Accountability Coalition is to identify, evaluate and prioritize the key opportunities that will unleash the potential of the Canada-Africa relationship.
