Knowledge Networking for Africa's development

Abstract

The Africa Knowledge Networks Forum (AKNF) was conceived as a programme and process of knowledge networking for Africa's development, focusing on "knowledge-sharing for enriched research, training, and policy decision-making". The AKNF's objectives, expected impact and process were conceived following recommendations of studies and consultations with a broad spectrum of Africa's development stakeholders, including a specially targeted constituency of African experts in the Diaspora.
