As part of its efforts to deepen knowledge-led dialogue on development, recovery and social change in Africa, the Africa Recovery Initiative (ARI) is launching the African Development Lab — a series of sessions bringing together researchers and others interested in the issues shaping African communities and societies.
The Lab connects academic knowledge with practical realities, creating space to discuss development, communities and the transformations taking place across the continent.
First session: Sudan and Development
From Reconstruction to a Sustainable Development Path
The session will feature Hassan Al-Nasser, a writer and researcher in sociology and anthropology whose work focuses on development and agrarian communities.
- Date: Tuesday, 29 September 2026
- Time: 6:00 p.m. Khartoum time
- Format: Online, interactive session
From reconstruction to sustainable development
The discussion will explore the relationship between reconstruction and development in Sudan, and what it takes to move from responding to the effects of war and rebuilding what has been damaged towards a sustainable development path grounded in local communities, their resources and their capacity to recover.
Researchers, practitioners and everyone interested in development and recovery are invited to join this conversation.
