PREPARATORY MEETINGS FOR THE ICEA 2017: KABA NIALE INVITES THE IVORIAN PRIVATE SECTOR TO TAKE AN ACTIVE PART IN IT

The Minister of Planning and Development, Mrs. Nialé KABA met the national private sector this Wednesday 22 February, at the Maison de l’Entreprise in Plateau. Organised as part of the preparations of the second edition of the International Conference on the Emergence of Africa, which will take place from 28 to 30 March 2017 in Abidjan, this meeting with the private sector was intended to raise the awareness of the national economic operators and invite them to take an effective part in it. In order to convince its interlocutors, Mrs. Nialé KABA stressed that this second edition is dedicated to furthering the debate on the issue of implementing the plans for emergence of African countries, in the light of the experiences carried out in Africa and elsewhere in the world. According to the Minister, the implementation of plans for emergence must be based on a very close collaboration between the State and the private sector. Hence, the call to the national private sector to take an active part in this second edition of the ICEA, because, as she said, emergence requires a national private sector that is ready to play its part in investing to create wealth and decent jobs.
