In a world dominated by multiple crises, from pandemics and climate change to economic depression and political polarization, it is essential to keep a constructive fact-based conversation going. This conference provides a platform for scholars and practitioners to discuss the future of African commons.

Presentations and panels are in English or French. The conference is spread out over a 2-week period providing enough time to engage with prerecorded videos and participate in selected live streaming events.

The conference is free to attend, but if you want to give a presentation or comment on presentations you need to be an IASC member. Limited resources are available to sponsor memberships of African participants who give presentations. We also appreciate contributions to the Esther Mwangi memorial scholarship fund to support African scholars on their actionable research on the commons.
