The Bandung Vision Revisited in Nairobi, Kenya 2018

This was was the name given to the first international African & Asian conference first held in Bandung, Indonesia in 1955. 29 African and Asian countries celebrated their independence and formed the precursor to the non-aligned movement. The conference committed in its declaration to work for the dignity and peaceful coexistence of all human beings. The spirit of the five goals adopted at the conclusion of the conference are part of the vision that helped ignite the liberation movement in Kenya and most of the rest of the continent.

Other conferences concerning the anti-colonial struggle across Africa and Asia were held in London in 1900 and in Manchester in 1945. The purpose would be to demonstrate a historical continuity to the ideals and aspirations of those conferences. One fundamental question may be as far as nation building is concerned so how far that vision has become a reality or whether it has been forgotten in a myriad of tribal and political rivalries mired in a sea of corruption.

The Bandung International Conference, Kenya will be held on Thursday 22nd November and Friday 23rd November 2018 at prestigious Crowne Plaza Hotel in Upper Hill, Nairobi. This is the first one to be held in Africa. We are working with a leading group of East African jurists and NGO’s to organise the conference which will be followed by a Legacy Gala Dinner on the final evening.

The Conference deliberations will be on the following themes:

l Anti-extremisml Educationl Human Rights l Ethics and the Rule of Law

Our intention is to support the initiatives of civil society in the region by adding the voice of various professionals, jurists and

The final communique expressed the vision that the core principles of the Bandung Conference were political self-determination, mutual respect for sovereignty, non-aggression, non-interference in internal affairs, and equality. These issues were of central importance to all participants in the conference, most of which had recently emerged from colonial rule.


human rights activists in the African diaspora to support the work of those on the Continent. The Conference is intended as the mechanism by which a strategic bridge can be used to establish and facilitate the exchange of talent, academic material and research, and expertise, matching the needs of the continent with the resources available within the diaspora communities.

Aims1. To promote the development of

Pan African solutions to global problems linking Africans in the diaspora and on the continent;

2. To identify leadership skills that deliver identifiable benefits to diverse communities;

3. To address areas of real concern to progress the social cohesion and unity of Africa by helping to create a unified constructive approach to issues of security, human rights and the rule of law, empowering and uplifting all in society through creating real prosperity, and sustainable wealth through education and increased social mobility.

Objectives1. To create a culture of joint

working and partnership between NGO’s and Governments, and international

authorities to deliver progressive change that positively impacts the lives and destiny of all citizens;

2. To create a bridge between the expertise and skills in Africa and in the diaspora communities for the mutual benefit of the continent and all our people;

3. To increase the wealth, both economic and social, via forging closer links across the full range of economic and social activities.

AudienceThe conference should appeal to East African Government policy and decision makers, senior civil servants, human rights activists, teachers, lawyers, Judges and Magistrates, academics, career diplomats, in East Africa as well as members of the Pan African diaspora who wish to contribute to the progression of civil society in the region.
