Africa a Continent of Opportunities

The Leon H. Sullivan Summits bring together the world’s political and business leaders, delegates representing national and international civil and multinational organizations, and members of academic institutions in order to focus attention and resources on Africa’s economic and social development.  Their mission was inspired by Rev. Leon H. Sullivan’s belief that the development of Africa is a matter of global partnerships.

Africa Economic Summit (June 1-3, 2005)

The African Economic Summit in 2005 presents an unparalleled opportunity to focus the world’s attention squarely on mobilizing the necessary partnerships and resources to improve the plight of Africa. A big push is necessary if Africa is to meet Millennium Development Goals on poverty, mortality and education.

The Africa Economic Summit will create an environment where collaboration between governments, Africa’s international development partners, business and other stakeholders can help propel Africa to self-sustaining growth and development that will make aid less necessary.
