- emphasising gender equality, identifying policy recommendations,
- creating a platform for knowledge sharing,Â
- discussing the role of government, civil society organisations, and the private sector in promoting economic justice initiatives.Â
The event will be conducted as a virtual panel discussion involving activists, policymakers, academicians, researchers, entrepreneurs and any African who is interested in promoting economic justice and empowerment in Africa. The discussions will be enriched with a question and answer session.
