Symposium on Constitutionalism, Term Limits & Public Debt Accountability in Africa: Katiba Institute, in partnership with @TISAKenya, the National Democratic Institute (NDI) Kenya, Daystar University, and the African Network of Constitutional Lawyers (ANCL), will convene a Symposium on Constitutionalism, Term Limits, and Public Debt Accountability in Africa in Nairobi from 18–19 March 2026. The two-day convening will bring together scholars, legal practitioners, policymakers, civil society actors, Journalists and regional experts to examine emerging governance challenges across the continent and explore pathways to strengthen constitutional democracy and accountability. Across Africa, constitutionalism is under increasing pressure. Expanding executive power, the erosion of constitutional term limits, weakening rule of law, and rising public debt burdens are raising serious concerns about democratic governance. In several countries, constitutional amendments, strategic litigation, and shifting political dynamics are reshaping governance frameworks. The symposium will provide a platform for critical dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaborative thinking on how Africa’s institutions, courts, civil society, and academia can safeguard constitutional governance while addressing growing fiscal and political pressures. The event will be streamed live by Katiba Institute, allowing broader participation from across the region and beyond. Learn more via: katibainstitute.org/event/symposiu… #AccountableGovenance
