About Senior Policy Seminar (SPS)

The African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) will host the twenty fifth series of the Senior Policy Seminar (SPS XXV) on 29-30, March 2023 in Nairobi, Kenya with a broad theme Human Capital Development in Africa. Four papers will be presented followed by a policy roundtable. The roundtable will be a mix of policy makers, paper presenters, non-state, and private sector actors.

AERC senior policy seminars are forums designed specifically to bring together senior policymakers from Africa to exchange experiences and deliberate on topical issues pertaining to sustainable development of their economies. The exchange involves an intense two-day dialogue among senior policy makers, intellectual leaders, private sector actors, and civil society based on policy-oriented research conducted by AERC network members. The ultimate goal is to promote policy based on rigor and evidence.
