The International Forum on African-Caribbean Leadership (IFAL) is an ALM flagship event held annually on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to bring leaders together in setting policy direction and as a peer-review mechanism.

Event Brief

The ALM Africa Summit is a premier annual program hosted by the African Leadership magazine since 2016. This gathering brings together policymakers, political and business leaders, diplomats, civil society leaders, thought leaders, and stakeholders from Africa, the UK, and around the world to engage in discussions on various issues related to the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of Africa. The Summit provides a platform for high-level networking, collaboration, and celebration of achievements in innovation, entrepreneurship, and development across the continent.

According to the Africa Governance and Development Outlook 2024 by the United Nations Development Programme, for 2024 to be an exemplary year for the African continent, leaders in government and business must address a complex set of domestic, regional, and international risks and challenges. These include global economic uncertainties, exacerbated by events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions like the Ukraine War, as well as issues such as climate change, economic inequalities, and debt crises, which now underscore the urgent need for concerted efforts to bolster Africa’s resilience and sustainable prosperity.

While forecasts from the IMF and Economic Intelligence Unit anticipate robust economic growth for Africa in 2024, positioning the continent as the second-fastest-growing major region with an average growth rate of 4 per cent, there are underlying challenges that need to be addressed, as identified by the British think-tank Chatham House.
