The theme is: Communication, Governance and Development”.

There would be a Special Panel on “Media, Accountability and Wealth Creation”

The decision to hold this conference in a university is a break from  the ACSPN tradition, being the first outside of the location and setting of the normal conferences.

The feelers on preparations and participants is that it will be the conference to beat as the host is determined to justify the confidence of the association in allowing this first exception.

ACSPN therefore   invites papers from its members/future members, interested individuals, local and international organizations, associations, institutions, agencies, the private sector and governments.
