The African Leadership Centre (ALC) would like to invite you to a two-part panel discussion on Wednesday, 21st October 2020 at 11:00hrs BST/ 13:00hrs EAT, as part of this year’s King’s Africa Week, themed: “The Politics of Knowledge and COVID-19”.

The Live discussion will consist of two moderated panels. In the first panel, some of the authors of the ALC COVID-19 Op-Ed Series that explore how Africa has responded to COVID-19 and on how the pandemic has affected the continent, will unpack their essays and discuss what might be next for Africa in light of the effects of the pandemic. The second panel features ongoing research being conducted by MSc students and Fellows of the ALC at King’s College London. They will share insights from their research projects that hinge on societal mobilization and leadership in Covid-19 response across parts of Africa, notably the DRC, Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria.
