The Africa Series, organized and hosted by the InfoShop, is a
comprehensive series of events that highlight a variety of topics on
Africa. The goal is to discuss and increase the awareness of development
issues related to the region. Currently, the program includes the
Congressional Black Caucus, a screening of a Liberian film, and a
presentation of an IFC report on Tanzania. Additional events will be
added to this outreach initiative throughout the fall, with some
co-produced with African Embassies. The InfoShop welcomes comments and
suggestions for upcoming events.
