6th AACOSE
The 6th edition of AACOSE seeks to build further the generative conversations that will lead to necessary shifts needed to create an enabling environment, build a collaborative ecosystem and sustain the change maker movement momentum for developed, just, peaceful and thriving Africa.
Theme: Systems Change: Transformative Social Innovations
AACOSE VI aims to build a collaborative and healthy ecosystem for the African continent’s long-term growth.
