About the Summits:
The Leon H. Sullivan Summits bring together the world’s political
and business leaders, delegates representing national and
international civil and multinational organizations, and members of
academic institutions in order to focus attention and resources on
Africa’s economic and social development. Their mission was inspired
by Rev. Leon H. Sullivan’s belief that the development of Africa is
a matter of global partnerships. It was particularly important to
Rev. Sullivan that Africa’s Diaspora and Friends of Africa are
active participants in Africa’s development.
The Sullivan Summits are organized by the Leon H. Sullivan
Foundation and held biennially in an African nation to highlight key
issues and best practices, stimulate discussion and define
opportunities, promote private enterprise and foster high-level
strategic partnerships. Creative and innovative initiatives emerge
out of discussions and negotiations at the Summits, and new
relationships are brokered in order to make those initiatives a
reality. The Sullivan Summits are a bridge between America and
Africa, serving as a forum for economic and cultural cooperation.
Africa needs partners, who can bring skills, expertise and resources
to the problems and challenges it faces and defines. It is through
these partnerships that Africa can realize its full potential. |
