Thank you, Accra. Thank you, Africa.
APSCA 2026 has drawn to a close, and what a week it was. For three days at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Africa's public sector came together to build resilient institutions for a digital, green and secure continent — and to celebrate the people already doing that work. To everyone who joined us in the room, on stage and behind the scenes: thank you.
The conversations started in Accra don't end here. Over the coming weeks we'll share session highlights, photo galleries and the key outcomes from each stream — so the ideas you helped shape keep moving into policy and practice.
Our delegates
Ministers, governors, directors-general, policymakers and private-sector leaders who travelled from across the continent and filled every session with candour and ambition.
Our speakers & moderators
For sharing hard-won lessons, challenging assumptions and turning Governance 2030 from a theme into a practical agenda.
Our nominees & award winners
Every entry told a story of public value delivered. Congratulations to this year's winners — and to every institution that put its work forward.
Our hosts, sponsors & partners
To the Government of Ghana, our sponsors, exhibitors, media partners and the Kempinski team — your support made three days in Accra possible.
Driving transformation in Africa's public sector since 2018.
Since 2018, the Africa Public Sector Conference & Awards has played a key role in driving thought leadership, innovation and development in the public sector — convening leaders from across the continent to discuss growth and sustainability. Now in its 7th year, APSCA brings together C-level executives, stakeholders, senior leaders, and policymakers to spearhead transformative discussions.
The conversations that will shape the next decade.
APSCA brings public-sector leaders into one room to examine resilient institutions, digital transformation, green governance and security — and the conversation moves to Kigali in June 2027.
Procurement, Supply Chain & Innovation Forum
Public procurement represents 15 to 20 percent of GDP across most African economies. This forum connects procurement chiefs, supply chain innovators, PFM specialists and integrity technology providers around one agenda.
Finance Innovation Forum
Without sound public finance, there is no sustainable development. This forum convenes Finance Ministers, central bank governors, and revenue authority leaders to address Africa's most critical fiscal challenges.
Women, Governance & Trade Forum
Africa's women are governing finance ministries, heading revenue authorities, tabling billion-dollar budgets and building businesses — yet the rooms where governance and trade agendas are set are still not fully theirs. This forum changes that.
Governor & Governance Forum
Africa's development story is increasingly written at the subnational level. This forum brings together Governors, regional executives, and county leaders to share experiences on decentralisation, accountability, and the delivery of development closest to the citizen.
Leaders shaping public service across Africa.
50+ confirmed speakers — government, institutional and business leaders converging around practical conversations and measurable impact.
