Africa: International conference on African culture and development

From 21st to 26th April 2008, an important event would be held on the African continent - the organization of the 1st International Conference on African Culture and Development (ICACD 2008) in Kumasi, Ghana. This conference is designed to draw attention to the missing link in the futile attempts to develop the African continent - culture. This is clearly illustrated in the 1995 report of the World Commission on Culture and Development: "Development divorced from its human or
cultural context is growth without a soul. Economic development in its full Flowering is a part of a people's culture".
