MON, 13 JUNE, 2022-theGBJournal| Makhtar Diop, Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), will participate in the AFRICA CEO FORUM on June 13 and 14 to underscore IFC’s commitment to supporting sustainable, private sector-led growth in Africa as the continent recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and navigates new challenges.
Members of IFC’s senior leadership team, including the IFC Vice Presidents for Africa, for Economics and Private Sector Development, for Cross-Cutting Solutions and for Treasury, will join Mr. Diop and will participate in key sessions during the FORUM.
With new external shocks such as economic and supply chain fallout from the war in Ukraine pressuring Africa’s post-COVID-19 recovery, Mr. Diop will lead discussions with heads-of-state and CEOs on how the private sector can deliver goods, services, and jobs for Africans across the continent.
Mr. Diop will open the FORUM alongside H.E Alassane Ouattara, President of Côte d’Ivoire, and Amir Ben Yahmed, President & Founder of the AFRICA CEO FORUM. Mr. Diop will also deliver opening remarks ahead of a presidential panel, highlighting private sector-led solutions to help Africa, particularly the Sahel region, rise to the growing food, climate and security crises impacting the continent.
Media are invited to register for the Africa CEO FORUM and to submit requests for interviews with Mr. Diop.
IFC has co-hosted the AFRICA CEO FORUM since 2018, underscoring its commitment to supporting the private sector to build a better, greener, and more inclusive future for Africa.
