Individuals are invited to a significant gathering focused on uniting private investment and development aid.
The African Union Commission's Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy, and Sustainable Environment, in collaboration with FAGRIB & Partners, is set to host the 2nd Edition of the GGWI Private Sector Engagement and Growth Forum (GGWI-PSF), scheduled for 5th to 7th March 2025, coinciding with the African Union's 38th Ordinary Head of State Summit.
This forum will engage distinguished African policymakers, marking a pivotal moment for extensive land restoration initiatives across the continent. The aim is to illustrate that efforts in land restoration and combating desertification present lucrative business prospects, positioning the private sector as a vital contributor to these advancements.
The involvement of private sector participants is crucial for the success of influential projects like the Great Green Wall and similar restoration schemes. By presenting compelling business cases, the forum seeks to enhance the capacities of Member States and hasten implementation efforts.
This important gathering will act as a venue where the private sector and developmental aid align to unveil new business opportunities. The objective is to shift perspectives on social, economic, and environmental impacts through innovative collaborations between public and private entities.
Retailers, manufacturers, and investors will have the opportunity to explore new offerings, build strategic alliances, and participate in the global movement towards achieving net-zero emissions.
Reasons to Participate:
The GGWI initiative is reshaping Africa’s drylands into appealing business landscapes, creating millions of eco-friendly jobs and sequestering significant amounts of carbon while rejuvenating extensive degraded territories. The Trade Show will be a distinctive chance to investigate these business ventures, connect with influential stakeholders, and interact with organizations pioneering market-based restoration.
This gathering will showcase transformative possibilities for public-private collaborations, where development aid mitigates risks in ecosystems to enhance their attractiveness for private investment. By merging private sector innovation with the reach of development aid, an environment fostering social, economic, and environmental change across Africa’s drylands is being cultivated.
