The Chairman of CONAC, Rev. Dr. Dieudonné Massi Gams, has urged the committees to work with unity, foresightness professionalism, team spirit, and integrity, highlighting their mission to ensure smooth logistics, facilitate institutional collaboration, guarantee efficient protocol arrangements, and create an environment for productive dialogue among delegations.
The conference will hold under the theme “Deploying Artificial Intelligence in the Fight Against Corruption in Commonwealth Africa,” a historic turning point as AI reshapes economies, governance systems, and societal functions.
According to the chairman, while technology plays a key role, its effectiveness depends on ethical governance, institutional collaboration, and human responsibility.
The preparations aim at engaging, not only experts, but also young people, civil society, and ordinary citizens, whose daily lives are directly affected by governance outcomes and corruption.
The Communication Plan is designed to inform, engage, and inspire participants and the public, building anticipation, understanding, and collective commitment ahead of the conference, which is expected to host over 200 participants from more than 25 countries.
