From July 2nd to 4th, 2026 , the Noom Hotel in Abidjan-Plateau will resonate with the rhythm of the 3rd edition of the African Convention for Integral Human Development (CADIH) . This strategic event will bring together the continent's leaders to discuss a central issue: the transformation of African organizations through the lens of human capital.

The theme chosen for this year immediately reveals the ambition of the event: "Well-being, leadership and performance: building the African organizations of tomorrow" .

Putting people back at the heart of competitiveness

The official launch was orchestrated this Thursday, June 11, 2026 in Abidjan, during a press conference co-hosted by Raphaël Tchomnou (General Commissioner of CADIH and CEO of Focus Groupe) and Bérénice Kodjoed (Architect of the event).

Initiated by the consulting firm Focus Groupe, this forum champions a strong vision: well-being at work is not a social luxury, but an essential driver of growth . To achieve sustainable performance, this edition's roadmap will be structured around three fundamental pillars:

1. Accurately diagnose current human challenges.
2. Supporting the structural transformation of companies.
3. Regenerating the potential of teams to guarantee sustainable growth.

“Africa doesn’t have a strategic problem, it has a human execution challenge. You can’t build resilient and competitive businesses with leaders who are exhausted, isolated, or disconnected from the realities of their teams.”

— Raphaël Tchomnou , Commissioner General of CADIH.

He insists that CADIH 2026 is intended to be a truly pragmatic "laboratory for regeneration", far removed from mere armchair theories.

A crossroads of exchanges with continental impact

The event promises to be an intensive learning and networking platform, structured around:

1. High-level panels and operational masterclasses .
2. Sharing concrete feedback and experiences.
3. Strategic networking sessions.
