According to the Tunisian-African Business Council (Tabc), the 4th edition of the international conference “Fita 2021” (Financing investment and trade in Africa), will be held from June 24 to 26, in Tunis. The conference will try, during this edition, to explore ways to respond to the different threats facing the African continent, through several high-level panels and workshops. In parallel, B to B meetings will be held on June 24, 25 and 26.
Le Tabc specifies that this edition of the “Fita 2021” forum will focus on the current situation which requires concentration on the African continent. And this, in order to develop new and creative mechanisms for doing business. Thus, it is a question of redefining trade and exchange relations, but also of rethinking public policies, targeting priority sectors and, above all, promoting more solid public-private partnerships. In order to achieve results in terms of economic and social development. While charting a way out of the current crisis facing our continent.
Indeed, the Tunisian-African Business Council mentions: “The covid-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented economic and humanitarian impact on countries around the world, including and especially those in Africa.
For a year, our continent has been facing the disastrous consequences of the pandemic. This has severely strained its already fragile health systems, and has disrupted productivity, increased unemployment and poverty ”. “So these are factors that, combined, threaten to undermine Africa’s development progress over the past decade,” the council said.
