Brown
Bag Seminars Series
As part of its
knowledge generation and sharing
program, the Foundation started organizing
a Brown Bag Seminar Series in 2003.
The Series is devoted to sharing
insights, intuitions, concepts, tools,
techniques, ideas, practices, new
applications, skills, experiences
and major research findings that
could contribute knowledge in capacity
building and development in Africa.
Presentations at the Seminar Series
are not necessarily rigorously researched
papers. They are largely seminal
thoughts that could form the basis
of an extensive research and capacity
building program by the Foundation.
The ‘Brown
Bag” seminars are held at frequent
intervals to promote a culture of
information exchange and learning
at the level of the Secretariat.
The Seminars are also intended to
generate knowledge as well as provide
a forum for discussion of pertinent
issues at national, regional and
international levels that impact
on Africa’s development.
Presenters at the
Seminar Series are drawn from professional
staff of the Foundation, members
of the Foundation’s Technical
Advisory Panels and Networks (TAP-NETs),
prominent visitors to the Foundation,
senior professional staff of ACBF
partner institutions, Directors and
professional staff of ACBF-supported
institutions, development managers,
policy practitioners, policy analysts
and researchers. Presentations are
expected to be succinct and should
contribute to learning, knowledge
and information sharing. Participants
at these seminars come from partner
institutions, government departments,
academia, and the private sector,
among others.
