DC-Dakar History

The Leon H. Sullivan Foundation has created a new blog on Africa policy, and we invite you to participate in it and share it with your colleagues. Feel free to create your own posts and start your own discussion thread rather than just respond to existing posts. Keep in mind, this blog is focused on solutions to African challenges.

Those who have web sites and can do so, we ask that you create a link to this blog. Please let me know if you can do so.

The web site address is: http://www.africarising2010.blogspot.com/

Watch this space for current updates and upcoming Conferences

D.C.-Dakar is the organizer of the U.S. Africa Sister Cities Conference. We established the Conference in 1991. In 1990 at the Annual Sister Cities International (SCI) Conference in Chicago, IL, the D.C.- Dakar delegation convened a meeting of all cities that had African sister cities. Twenty-one persons came to the meeting. After the meeting we presented the idea of a meeting of all U.S. African Sister Cities in Washington, D.C.

Sister Cities International (SCI) is the national membership organization for sister city, county, and state programs in the United States. Sister Cities International is the official agency which links communities from the United States with communities worldwide.
