Join us for a forward-looking event as we delve into innovative policy solutions to drive economic development through job-rich growth. Our high-level guests will spotlight the essential role of women and youth in labor markets, exploring strategies to empower their participation and ignite sustainable change. Learn how we can collectively tackle poverty by fostering an environment where businesses flourish, job opportunities multiply, and communities thrive. Your participation matters in shaping a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Learn more: [ Ссылка ]
