This was an amazing conference held for the first time on the African continent.
It was well organized and managed, with many dynamic, positive, and encouraging addresses, presentations, panel discussions, and workshops.
It is a testimony as to what can be achieved by emphasizing fairness, inclusivity, sustainability, with transformational social policies at the local, municipal, provincial and broader state level.
