Ottawa Conference October 23, 2025 at the offices of GOWLING WLG, 160 Elgin St Suite 2600
When corruption blocks access to a hospital bed or keeps girls out of school, it’s not just a governance issue, it’s a matter of life, dignity, and justice.
On 23 October 2025, join voices from Africa and Canada in Ottawa for a full-day conference on Inclusive Service Delivery Africa (ISDA). In dialogue with Canadian stakeholders, this event will spotlight real solutions to barriers to access in health and education in five African countries. This conference will be of interest for those involved in international development and service delivery who believe in systems that serve everyone, not just the few.
