Africa Mindset Reset Forum in Kigali

Overview

The inaugural Africa Mindset Reset Forum, organized by the African School of Governance, convened in Kigali, Rwanda, to address the continent’s economic and technological future. The event brought together approximately 1,000 leaders, including various former heads of state and current leaders such as Rwandan President Paul Kagame.

A primary focus of the forum was the concept of ‘Meta-Africanism,’ which seeks to evolve traditional Pan-Africanism by prioritizing institutional strength, self-determination, and practical cooperation over mere political unity. Discussions centered on implementing homegrown solutions for challenges such as digitalization, global trade, and the management of natural resources.

Participants emphasized the need for a shift in perspective to address modern issues, with academic contributors noting that ‘we cannot solve today’s problems with yesterday’s mindset.’ The forum also explored strategies for increased continental integration, including the establishment of a single African air transport market.
