This years’ event was organised in partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, and the School of Women and Gender Studies, Makerere University, under the theme ‘Celebrating Women, Pan-Africanism and Community.’ The Keynote speaker was Her Excellency Fatoumata Jallow-Tambajang, a Gambian politician, activist, and former Vice President.
“…intellectuals have a special contribution to make to the development of our nation, and to Africa. And I am asking that their knowledge, and the greater understanding that they should possess, should be used for the benefit of the society of which we are all members.”
Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his book Uhuru na Maendeleo (Freedom and Development), 1973.
