The Future of U.S.-Africa Relations with Judd Devermont
Following the inauguration of a new President of the United States, the global community is watching for how America will enter into a new age of foreign policy and international relations, rebuilding old relationships and fortifying new ones. But what does a new U.S. President mean for African governments and the people who work in government?
On Wednesday, January 27, Emerging Public Leaders (EPL), which runs a fellowship program that recruits, trains, and supports the next generation of civil servants across Africa, hosted a discussion with Judd Devermont, director of the Africa Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), on the future of U.S.-Africa relations in the Biden administration, including an overview of issues facing the global public service community.
The conversation was led by Yawa Hansen-Quao, executive director of Emerging Public Leaders. She was recently named as one of 2020’s 100 Most Influential Young Africans and is an Amujae Fellow with the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Center for Women and Development.
