- The case for a Lagos-Johannesburg city-to-city cooperation framework
Cities and subnational governments are often excluded from regional integration processes in Africa. Yet, these actors often have first-hand experience with the socio-economic issues that regional integration seeks to address. Their exclusion is problematic and detracts from the vision of a broad-based regional integration process.
In this interactive roundtable, a panel of experts discusses the findings of the project "Cities as a site for deepening continental integration in Africa". In this project, Babatunde Fagbayibo, African scholar, explores how a cooperation agreement between Lagos and Johannesburg, can stimulate the process of ensuring that cities have an active role in the articulation and implementation of the goals of continental integration in Africa.
