The Southern Voices Network for Peacebuilding Scholars Alumni Conference: June 2024

From June 4th to 6th, the Africa Program welcomed current and former Southern Voices Network for Peacebuilding Scholars to the Wilson Center for a conference focused on reimagining the future of governance in Africa. In a variety of group sessions, scholars collaborated, networked and shared their insights on some of the most pressing challenges and powerful successes in peacebuilding on the continent. Scholars also engaged with policymakers during their time in Washington DC, which featured a trip to Capitol Hill to speak with senior staffers from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee. On the final day, attendees shared the results of their discussions and concluded with a tour of Capitol Hill.
