By examining insights from the EIU's Democracy Index and reflecting on the outcomes of the S4D 3rd summit, the webinar seeks to foster a deeper understanding of Africa's democratic trajectory. Additionally, given the diverse political
landscapes across the continent, the webinar will facilitate discussions on the unique challenges and opportunities facing African democracies.
