The summit is one of Africa’s leading platforms for advancing the continent’s voice in shaping the global economic agenda. This year’s focus includes trade, industrialization, innovation, sustainable financing, and inclusive growth, while fostering dialogue between Africa and the global community.
Dr. Fatima Maada Bio is expected to share her perspective on human capital development, women’s leadership, and social impact. She is widely recognized for her Hands Off Our Girls campaign and her advocacy through the Organization of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD).
