The Global Political Economy and Africa’s Development over the Last 60 Years

Sub-Saharan Africa remains so deprived today in which ethnic conflicts, civil wars or factional leadership struggles have completely destroyed the economic and political institutions. Some countries have however maintained progressive economic development albeit sluggishly. The promise of independence has not been realized. What went wrong? What is the way forward in Africa’s Development?

To address this, the Department of Political Science and Public Administration invites you to a public lecture by Kisumu County Governor, Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o on “The Global Political Economy and Africa’s Development over the Last 60 Years.”

This lecture could not have come at a better time. With the University of Nairobi celebrating its 50 years of existence, such a discussion fits well within the objectives of the University as a global centre of academic discourse.

Date: November 30, 2020
