The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business' information-sharing mandate encompasses thought leadership from a variety of business, civil society and public sector leaders. By curating thought leadership through our events, the think tank function of the Chamber yields proprietary perspectives, insights and recommendations specific to Canada-Africa trade and investment.
While we don't take specific policy positions, the Chamber is pleased to facilitate the exchange of a wide variety of perspectives. Arising from this work are two stand-alone programs: our Free Trade Unit & Office in Accra, Ghana and our partnership with McGill University.
