Boosting
African private sector entails providing support in improving the business
environment and access to market opportunities; providing financing, business
assistance and advisory services to companies; strengthening institutional
frameworks and promoting commerce and the integration of regional markets.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) and Morocco, as
well as most Regional Member Countries are committed to making the development
of national and regional private sector a priority.
This commitment is reflected in their involvement in
activities covering booming sectors promoting inclusive growth especially those
targeting the employment of youth and women. Hence, the AfDB, through its
Projects and Programs, creates business opportunities across Africa which
benefits the private sector and various categories of stakeholders.
The Confederation general des enterprises
microclines (CGEM) and the AfDB are hosting a Seminar on May 27, 2013 as a side
event to the Bank’s Annual Meetings in Marrakech (Morocco) from May 27 to 31,
2013.
The objective of the meeting is to serve as a forum
to exchange and share experiences on this important challenge.
Various topics covered will provide opportunities
for the participants, from the private sector companies of Morocco and of other
African countries, as well as from around the world, to exchange on existing
AfDB financial instruments and related business opportunities for the private
sector and strategies to promote African Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
competitiveness.
Not only that but also windows for private sector
financing and access to credit mechanisms (case of Morocco and other
countries); and public policies aimed at favoring African businesses including
SMEs and fostering market accessibility and growth.
This forum will allow participants to network and
establish potential business partnerships. More specifically it will provide
opportunities to interact with eminent experts, government officials and
business leaders.
Ends.
