These are annual forums convened by AERC that provide high level African policy makers the opportunity to come together to learn about the results of AERC research, exchange policy experiences with each other and interact with AERC researchers in an atmosphere of peers. Each seminar features the presentation and discussion of up to four papers related to a chosen policy theme. The exchange involves an intense one to two days dialogue among senior policy makers, intellectual leaders, private sector actors, and civil society based on policy-oriented research. Participants are usually drawn from the highest level of government, including the presidency, ministers, governors of central banks, heads of civil service, permanent secretaries, and heads of government agencies and research institutes as well as parastatals.
