Policy Forums & Symposia
AAI's Education Outreach and Policy (EOP) program facilitates forums for U.S.-Africa engagement around key issues of significant and mutual concern. The outcomes of these forums inform the direction of future Africa focused research, the allocation of resources, and the creation of U.S. policy toward Africa. Select past forums have also informed AAI policy positions on selected issues and legislation, especially those that relate directly to AAI's core mission and primary focus area—capacity-building within Africa and for Africans.
Past policy forums have included:
- Africa’s Response to Terrorism in 2006
- Is Africa Important to the U.S.?: Perspectives from the Bush Administration in 2002
- East Coast Regional Summit on Africa of the National Summit on Africa in 1999 (AAI was the event convenor)
