The Africa Dialogue Series (ADS) is the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA)’s flagship event. It occurs annually and is a global platform that focuses on current and emerging African issues and promotes high-level advocacy for Africa’s peace, security and development.

As a broad forum for a wide range of stakeholders, including policy and decision makers, researchers and advocacy groups, the ADS brings together member states, United Nations (UN) entities, international and regional organizations, civil society and academic institutions.

The event is hosted by OSAA, in collaboration with the African Union (AU), UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), UN Department of Peace Operations (DPO), UN Department of Global Communications (DGC), and UN Women.
