The Canadian Council on
Africa
wishes to thank the Prime Minister of Tanzania and his delegation, African ministers and their delegations, all of our Conference Partners, our speakers, and our delegates for making our conference a success. Facing extreme weather in
Calgary
(-42 degrees with the wind chill on Tuesday, November 28th!), our African and out of town delegates certainly can say they’ve survived nearly the worst weather that
Canada
has to offer.
The Canadian Council on
Africa
is now preparing a comprehensive “Briefing Note” on the conference themes for policy-makers and the industry sectors. This will be published in the first quarter of 2007. We are still looking for feedback from participants to the conference and others in the sector. If you wish to contribute or provide any comments, please contact Chris Roberts here.
The links below are to the presentations or speeches that where given at the conference or links to appropriate websites.
Presentations are published in the language that they were given
