Collaborate with governments to accelerate development - Betty Mould-Iddrisu to African entities

” The event brought together representatives from the government, academia, the private sector, financial institutions and development partners to deliberate on Africa’s economic transformation and the future of the African Union’s (AU) Agenda 2063.

A Member of the Council of State, Betty Mould-Iddrisu, has called on the private sector, members of academia, and young people in Africa to work closely with their respective governments to translate development plans into tangible economic opportunities for the people.

The former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice said Africa had numerous regional development plans, continental strategies, protocols, programmes, roadmaps and action plans, with countries boasting of well-written policy documents, but said these could not automatically translate into effective institutions or improved living conditions unless there was collaboration around them to translate them into realities.
