    African Chiefs of Defense Conference 2024    

    The African Chiefs of Defense Conference (ACHOD) serves as a premier forum for military leaders from across the African continent to convene, collaborate, and address pressing security challenges. Through dialogue, knowledge exchange, and partnership-building, the conference aims to foster regional stability and enhance collective security efforts. This iteration is the first to be held on the African Continent since the first ACHOD Conference in 2017.
