The Africa Dialogue Series (ADS) 2025 takes place from 5 to 30 May, with the theme “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations.”
Hosted by the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA) and partners, the ADS takes place annually in May during Africa month and echoes the African Union’s theme of the year.
This year, the ADS aims to stimulate informed reflection on justice for Africans and people of African descent and encourage meaningful dialogue on reparations. It will provide a platform for partners and stakeholders to assess the effectiveness of current international strategies and frameworks concerning reparative justice for Africans and people of African descent, and advocate for policies to boost initiatives that enhance financial, environmental, economic, and social justice.
The first three weeks of the ADS will be virtual, with participation through webinars and online activities. The ADS will conclude with an in-person High-Level Political Dialogue (HLPD) at UN Headquarters on 30 May.
Participation is open to a cross-section of society, including policymakers, civil society, academia and the media.
