About this event

GLOBAL AFRICA: A WORLD ON NEW TERMS Africa House Global Assembly 2026 Hosted by Akin One Bryant Park, New York ABOUT THE ASSEMBLY The international order is being rewritten. Long-held assumptions about power, trade, capital, technology, education and work are shifting at once. This is a consequential moment for Global Africa: an opportunity to bring its leadership, knowledge, capital and cultural influence to the work of shaping what comes next. Convened by Africa House during UNGA Week 2026, Global Africa: A World on New Terms is a two-day assembly of leaders from government, business, finance, philanthropy, culture and civil society. Together, they will examine the systems now being remade, build new coalitions and advance the institutions, agreements and initiatives the emerging world will require. Rooted in the unfinished work of Pan-Africanism and global African solidarity, the Assembly looks forward with purpose. It asks what Global Africa should build, negotiate, finance and steward now, and how a changing international order can become an opening for greater agency, fair exchange and shared prosperity. Day One features the New York launch of Kenya Road to Davos, in partnership with the Government of Kenya and Crystal Tribe Investments, paving the way towards Kenya House at Davos 2027. Kenya’s participation will run through the day’s main-stage conversations on trade, investment and the partnerships shaping Africa’s future, culminating in an opening reception marking the launch. DAY ONE: NEW FRONTIERS Tuesday explores the new frontiers taking shape for Global Africa. Beginning with the opening ceremony, New Frontiers, Shared Futures, the programme considers a changing international order and the opportunities it presents. The day moves from the geopolitical reset to new corridors for trade and investment, emerging industries and the institutions and partnerships Africa can help shape. It closes in the spirit of Africa House: gathering across sectors, generations and borders, deepening relationships and building the foundations for Wednesday’s focus on Shared Futures.
