This Africa Center event serves as a public event to discuss the economic situation of the African continent in a post-Covid context.
While international development organizations stress African resilience, this event will take place during the Ivory Coast’s Prime Minister’s visit in Washington D.C. this month. This event will feature remarks from Prime Minister Achi about the Ivory Coast Vision 2030. Vision 2030 is a large development strategy that aims at improving the business environment, boosting the role of the private sector, and fostering job creation.
