The Ibrahim Discussion Forum

In 2009 the Foundation held the forum in Dar es Salaam where members of civil society, the media, academia, regional bodies, NGOs and government debated climate change and climate justice; agriculture and food security; and regional economic integration.
In 2010 the forum was held in Mauritius and focused on the need for greater regional integration in Africa. The forum was opened by the Prime Minister of Mauritius, Navinchandra Ramgoolam, and African Union Commission Chairperson, Jean Ping.
In 2011 the Foundation hosted a forum in Tunis, Tunisia, on Africa’s agricultural development, food security and rural development.

Famous quotes containing the words discussion and/or forum:
“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“If I should ever decide in the future to discuss my deep Christian beliefs and condemnation and sinfulness, I would use another forum besides Playboy.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
