As we switch to fortnightly publication, the serious but necessary conversation continues. In today’s episode of The Pan-African Experience I spoke to Dr Maurice Amutabi about his book; The NGO Factor in Africa: The case of Arrested Development in Kenya. While acknowledging the positive roles of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations) in Africa, Dr Amutabi’s research found that NGOs’ activities also undermine development efforts.

He holds a PhD in African History from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, and has written in several journals around the world.

Ep. 15 I Mr Leo .E. Tiah. I 5Th Annual Education and Youth leadership Conference - Liberia

One of the purposes of this podcast is to bridge the gap between Africa and the diaspora, with regards to exchange of ideas that are geared towards youth empowerment. I am particularly interested in the education sector across Africa, and how we can centre the curriculum on Afrocentrism. It gives me great hope to speak to young people across Africa, who are making positive impacts both on the grassroot and national level. In today’s episode of The Pan-African Experience, I was joined by Mr Leo .E. Tiah to discuss the 5th Annual Education and Youth Leadership Conference in Liberia (AYEAL 2022). Mr Tiah is a youth advocate and the Executive Director of Youth Network for Positive Change, a grassroot movement in Liberia and the organiser of the AYEAL 2022 Conference. The conference is a platform that raises youth voices and promotes issues around peace building, gender equality, quality education, good health, good governance, and human rights. I am grateful and honoured to have Dr Christian on the podcast.
