Regional workshop on coherent strategies for productive capacities development in African least developed countries - UNCTAD, United Republic of Tanzania, REPOA

Information here: Regional workshop on coherent strategies for productive capacities development in African least developed countries | UNCTAD

The workshop will bring together officials from the beneficiary countries, selected nonbeneficiary African countries, representatives of the private sector, partner implementing agencies, and international experts to: ▪ Discuss challenges and opportunities associated with developing coherent strategies for productive capacities development. ▪ Identify recommendations on possible measures and options to address existing constraints on productive capacities development ▪ Share best practices and experiences in formulating and implementing holistic and coherent approaches to productive capacities development amongst government officials and stakeholders. ▪ Draw lessons for the three project beneficiary countries from the experiences of nonLDCs in Africa as well as non-African countries that have successfully developed productive capacities. Given the importance of cross-cutting issues (such as gender and inequality) in the development of productive capacities, the workshop includes a session on Gender, Inequality and the Challenge of Productive Transformation in African LDCs to enhance participants understanding of how addressing these challenges could contribute to the development of productive capacities in the beneficiary countries.
