He noted that the interventions planned under the five-year plan would include supporting private companies through a separate business development program for start-ups and small businesses, promoting national ownership by strengthening the African Circular Economy Alliance (ACEA), and institutional skills development. to create areas that allow for around economy.
Fighting for a vibrant, re-emerging economy is a great way to create new jobs and important new ecosystems.
