By STEVE OTIENO More by this AuthorThe fifth edition of the Kusi Ideas Festival under the theme “Africa’s Agenda 2063: Making the dream come true” was held in Gaborone, Botswana this week, with a rallying call to African leaders to promote innovations, resilience and commitments towards the achievement of continent’s strategic development plan, Agenda 2063. Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi equated the festival with a stock exchange, where people meet to exchange ideas that are not only tradeable but can be turned into policies. “We are fully persuaded that this event has a unique offering of a transformative and intentional conversations by thought leaders from across the continent to interrogate the various aspects and facets of our collective vision,” he said. The two-day conference will see the delegates, both attending virtually and physically generate several ideas offering solutions and innovations to tackle challenges facing Africa. I believe we have the capacity to confront all the challenges that we face head on and deal with them.
