Creating Shared Value Global Forum 2016

Investing in Sustainable Development in Africa

On 21 June we held our Creating Shared Value Global Forum in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Entitled 'Investing in Sustainable Development in Africa', the forum brought together business, civil society and government leaders from Africa and beyond to discuss a range of key topics affecting the African continent.

Watch the replay of the webcast on YouTube as we engaged panelists and participants in discussions on how governments, civil society and the private sector can work together to accelerate sustainable development in Africa.
