The second University of Newcastle joint African Postgraduate Student Association (APSA) and the Centre for African Research, Engagement and Partnerships (CARE-P) multidisciplinary conference was held in October 2021.
Our incredible African Postgraduate Student Association (APSA) joined forces with CARE-P to deliver another successful online conference (Figure 2). Dr Enock Nyorekwa Twinoburyo, a Senior Economist from the African Sustainable Development Centre for Africa (SDGC/A) delivered the Keynote speech on SDGs in Africa noting the challenges of achieving the targets of the SDGs by 2030 but hopeful Africa and the world will be a better place through collaboration. The Kenyan Education Attaché Ms Nancy Mutai delivered a special address on Inequality, covid and the achievement of Africa’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). She acknowledged that Covid has made the achievements of SDGs harder for Africa but encouraged all to adopt a transformative pathway.
