NGLA 2026: Why Cape Town

Understanding the strategic importance of hosting the assembly at the southern tip of the continent.

Cape Town gives the assembly a rare combination of global accessibility, institutional infrastructure, and symbolic relevance within African leadership conversations.

The city also enables high-quality convening logistics for delegates, mentors, and partners while remaining deeply connected to grassroots realities that shaped the foundation's early work.

Selecting Cape Town is a strategic decision: we need a venue that can support serious policy dialogue and practical implementation sessions in equal measure.
