Global Conference 2019
The African Century: A Road Map for Market-led Growth
Tuesday, April 30, 2019 / 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Demographics dictate that the next century will be Africa's, but what kind of century will it be? Will it be one of aid dependency, joblessness, and northern migration? Or will it be one of inclusive, private-sector-led growth—with Africa leveraging its demographic dividend globally to drive its economic transformation? This panel of senior policymakers and CEOs will chart the course to a prosperous African Century driven by jobs and economic transformation: an Africa beyond aid.
