World Economic Forum on Africa 2013
Cape Town, South Africa 8-10 May 2013
Delivering on Africa’s promise
With an expected annual growth of 5% in 2012-2013, sub-Saharan Africa continues its transformative journey from a developing continent to a hub of global growth. However, the global economic outlook calls for prudent leadership to accelerate policy reforms that stabilize the legal and regulatory ecosystem with a special attention to equitable growth and generation of entrepreneurial financing mechanisms.
Under the theme “Delivering on Africa’s Promise”, the 23rd World Economic Forum on Africa will provide an important platform for leaders from business, government and civil society to deepen the continent’s integration agenda and renew commitment to a sustainable path of growth and development.
