Description
This panel explores a variety of ways in which development is being envisaged and enacted across multiple African contexts. It highlights the importance of development ambitions, goals and targets in addressing questions of health, food security and poverty but situates these ambitions within the broader political economies of development. Considering how different actors and stakeholders understand and pursue their visions for development, the panel brings a critical lens to development actors and approaches, including public health actors, NGOs, African and Western states and development consultants. The papers bring questions of power, critical consciousness and knowledge economies to the foreground.
