ABOUT PAN AFRICAN CONGRESS ON AUTISM (PACA) 2027
The Pan-African Congress on Autism (PACA) invites autistic people, families, researchers, practitioners, educators, health professionals, policymakers, advocates, innovators, faith and community leaders, and organisations across Africa and the diaspora to contribute to PACA 2027. The Congress will examine how Africa can move from promising but isolated initiatives towards inclusive, culturally grounded and sustainable systems of support across the lifespan. We welcome contributions that strengthen evidence, build capacity, influence policy, improve practice and centre the knowledge, leadership and priorities of autistic people and their families.
