call for papers for the 7th congress of african economists in cape verde

The 7th Congress of African Economists, an event of great relevance to the debate on the economic development of the African continent, is inviting economists, researchers, academics and policy makers to submit their articles. This congress, to be held in Cape Verde, promises to be a dynamic forum for exchanging ideas, discussing innovative solutions and building strategic partnerships for Africa's economic future.

Cape Verde, with its political stability, strategic location and growing relevance in the African context, offers the ideal stage for this congress. The archipelago, known for its resilience and ability to adapt, has become an example of sustainable development and good governance in the region. The organisation of the congress in Cape Verde therefore underlines the importance of recognising and promoting good practices and successful experiences that contribute to the continent's economic progress.

The congress will address a wide range of topics crucial to African economic development, including, but not limited to, inclusive and sustainable growth, economic diversification, regional integration, natural resource management, the impact of climate change and the role of technology and innovation. Submitted articles should present rigorous analyses and innovative perspectives on these topics, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and the formulation of effective public policies.

The congress organisers encourage the submission of articles that present case studies, comparative analyses, empirical research results and concrete policy proposals. It is essential that the articles have a clear relevance to the African context and that they contribute to the debate on the challenges and opportunities facing the continent.

Participation in the congress represents an excellent opportunity for economists and researchers to share their work, establish professional contacts and contribute to the development of innovative solutions to Africa's economic challenges. The selected papers will be presented during the congress and published in the event's proceedings, ensuring wide dissemination and impact.

In addition to the paper presentation sessions, the congress will include panel discussions, workshops and networking events, providing a rich and stimulating environment for exchanging ideas and building partnerships. The presence of high-level policymakers and representatives of international organisations will strengthen the impact of the congress and ensure that the recommendations and conclusions reached are duly considered in the formulation of public policies.

The deadline for submitting articles is 5 September 2025. Those interested can find more information on the submission guidelines and article templates at the following link: [link].

This congress represents a unique opportunity to contribute to the debate on Africa's economic future and to building a more prosperous and equitable continent. Don't miss this opportunity to share your knowledge and be part of this important discussion.
