It's beyond wonderful that there is going to be an event in Africa! I'm not an EA (at least not yet) but as I understand it one of the biggest criticisms of the belief system is that it is overly focused on the Western world to the exclusion of the Global South. If Effective Altruism is to be, well, truly effective at its mission of helping people in need globally, it cannot ignore the African continent or the many peoples, nations, and languages that make it up.
Excited!
This is great!.. and one of its kind in Africa, looking forward to participating.
Here from kampala, this is a wonderful idea. It will give us a chance to know each other inperson and expand the EA network across the continent.
Mubarak from EA Nigeria, looking forward to connecting with fellow altruists in Africa. This will enable us to better put EA principles in the Africa contexts
Great, looking forward to it.
