The Kusi Ideas Festival is an annual conference organized by the Nation Media Group, that seeks to build a pan-African ideas transaction market and contribute to shaping the agenda that will enable the continent to become a leading player across a broad range of endeavors in the 21st century. Previous Festivals were held in Kigali, Rwanda, in 2019; Kisumu, Kenya, in 2020; and Accra, Ghana, in 2021.

The last festival, co-hosted by H.E. President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana attracted 34 speakers with 17,000 participants attending virtually from 401 cities in 72 countries, while 1,080 attended in person. Notably, it reached more than 200 million social media users and won global recognition as Best Use of an Event to Build a News Brand at the 2022 INMA Global Awards.

This edition will revolve around the theme, Climate Change: Exploring African Responses and Solutions and will explore the impact of the warming climate on the continent - from its impact on our food security to the financing and technology needed to mitigate its impact on its environment and the people. This edition of the Festival, slated for the first week of December, will be hosted on the backdrop of COP27, which will just have been concluded in Egypt.

NOTE: The Student Ticket covers both days of the event
