African Public Policy Continental Convention 2030
Better policies create stronger institutions. Stronger institutions create prosperous nations.
What is APPCC 2030?
The African Public Policy Continental Convention (APPCC) is Africa's flagship continental platform dedicated to advancing excellence in public policy, governance, leadership, and institutional development. Convened by the Public Policy Professionals Society of Kenya (PPPSK), APPCC brings together governments, policymakers, parliamentarians, development partners, regional and international organisations, universities, research institutions, professional bodies, the private sector, civil society, and emerging leaders to collaborate on practical, evidence-informed solutions to Africa's development priorities.
Unlike traditional conferences, APPCC is a year-round continental platform — combining policy dialogue, leadership development, research, innovation, strategic partnerships, and professional networking to strengthen governance ecosystems across Africa. Its annual Convention serves as the flagship gathering within a broader programme of continuous engagement through executive forums, policy dialogues, research dissemination, leadership programmes, publications, and collaborative initiatives.
