ISDA conference 2025

October 23, 2025 | Ottawa

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 across Africa and Canada in Ottawa for the ISDA Public Conference: a full-day event spotlighting real solutions to a global problem, part of the ISDA Addressing Corruption to Improve Access to Education and Healthcare mission to Canada. With stories from five African countries, insights from Canadian institutions, and a bold call to action, this conference is a platform for those who believe in systems that serve everyone, not just the few.
