African Policy Circle, Yaoundé (2026)

29/03/2026

🕯️On behalf of the African Policy Circle (APC), we extend our deepest condolences on the untimely passing of Steven Gruzd, Head of the African Governance and Diplomacy Programme at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA).

Steve was a thought leader in foreign policy and governance, and a pillar of the APC family as a key member of our Steering Committee. His strategic insight, intellectual courage and unwavering commitment to a just, peaceful and well-governed Africa shaped many of the ideas, dialogues and policy proposals that APC has championed in recent years. His passing leaves a profound void in our collective efforts to advance democratic governance and principled diplomacy on the continent.

We share in the grief of his family, friends, and colleagues at South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), and we stand in solidarity with all who had the privilege of learning from and working alongside him. As APC, we will honour Steve’s memory by carrying forward the work to which he devoted his life: building resilient institutions, nurturing ethical leadership, and promoting informed, evidence-based public policy across Africa.

May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire present and future generations of African scholars, policymakers and activists.

“Peace is everyone’s business. We must silence the guns. End the suffering. Build bridges. And create stability and prosperity.”

On Sunday’s International Day of Peace, UN Secretary-General António Guterres says peace cannot wait.

“Around the world, lives are being ripped apart, childhoods extinguished, and basic human dignity discarded, amidst the cruelty and degradations of war,” he stresses, calling on everyone to speak the language of respect and open our hearts to others.

“Our warring world is crying out for peace.”

At the African Policy Circle, we recognize that investing in children today means empowering the youth leaders of tomorrow. Every policy decision, every budget allocation, every program we advocate for creates the foundation upon which African youth will build the future.

The students of Soweto were children who became young leaders. Today's children are tomorrow's changemakers.

🔵 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 – 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄

The African Policy Circle Conference 2025 officially commenced yesterday in Yaoundé, Cameroon, under the theme "𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻, 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻 : 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻". Running from 𝟮𝟲 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟴 𝗠𝗮𝘆, this year’s conference seeks to amplify citizen voices in governance by addressing critical challenges to democracy and exploring inclusive mechanisms for civic engagement. Rising threats to democracy, like unconstitutional changes of government, restricted civic spaces, and misinformation, undermine public trust in government and democratic processes. The conference aims to bridge this gap by fostering dialogue between policymakers, civil society, and citizens.

𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮 – 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟮𝟲 𝗠𝗮𝘆

The day began with arrivals and registrations of APC members and participants, followed by a welcome address by Isabel Bosman, APC Convenor, and opening remarks from Dr. Holger Dix of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) KAS Sub-Saharan Africa. The first session, “𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺𝘀,” led by Dr. OLADIRAN BELLO, PhD (GGA) and discussant Lwazi Somya (SALO), examined whether current policies reflect citizens’ needs and how effectively governments listen to public input.

After lunch, the focus shifted to “𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝟭,” where Maberi Francis Gimugu (Step Up Youth Initiative) and Dr. Paul Kariuki (DDP) discussed strategies for strengthening partnerships between governments, civil society, and citizens to improve governance. This was followed by a critical discussion on “𝗖𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 & 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻”, featuring Stephen Mwombela (REPOA) and Alida Tchinda (Brave Heart Organization), who highlighted how shrinking civic freedoms and digital falsehoods stifle citizen participation.

The final session was given by Abdirahman Warsame, who made a presentation of his organization to the APC, Centre for Democracy and Governance, and provided some critical information on Somaliland and its democracy.

Special thanks to our local host, Brave Heart Organization(BHO), whose founder is Ms. Alida Tchinda, a Cameroonian gender specialist and advocate for women and girls socio-economic empowerment in Cameroon.🇨🇲

Thanks to the other local organizations that honored us with their presence, Nkafu Policy Institute and Actions for Development and Empowerment (ADE).

The day closed with a preview of Day 2’s agenda, focusing on rebuilding trust and digital innovation in governance.

This day, and throughout the conference, we proudly wore vibrant African attire—to honore our heritage and reinforce our commitment to policies shaped by and for 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮’𝘀 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀.
