Registration includes access to plenary and breakout sessions, official summit materials, the delegate networking directory and the day-one gala dinner.

Tips for this summit
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check whether participation is open registration, competitive selection, nomination or invitation-only.
- Review funding, travel, accommodation, visa-support and delegate-fee terms separately; “fully funded” should be confirmed on the official source.
- Prepare a concise professional profile and motivation statement focused on the summit theme and expected participant contribution.
Verification notes
The official ASSA registration page states the event dates, UNECA venue and that registration is open to social-security professionals, policymakers, researchers and development partners. It says places are limited but does not state a registration deadline or fee.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
