UNITED NATIONS WORLD CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION DAY:
UNIDO GLOBAL CALL, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGSs) AND BROAD-BASED INVESTMENTS IN AFRICA

Introduction:
This e-conference is in continuance of the conversation advanced during the most recent UNIDO Global Call 2022 and in readiness for the ‘UNIDO Global Call 2023’. Additionally, engaging our own pie of the globe and alongside over 100, 000 people around the world, we commemorate the United Nations “World Creativity and Innovation Day” 2023 (21 April)
https://www.un.org/en/observances/creativity -and-innovation-day

Similar to the UNIDO Global Call which is managed by the Investment and Technology Promotion (ITP) Division of UNIDO and collaboratively implemented through its 9 global ITP Offices in Bahrain, Japan, Italy, Germany, Nigeria, Shanghai, Beijing, Russia and Korea, the World Creativity and Innovation Day calls on “the world to embrace the idea that innovation is essential for harnessing the economic potential of nations and that innovation, creativity and mass entrepreneurship can provide new momentum towards achieving the SDGs while achieving reduction in global development imbalances.
With just seven years to go and the huge set back on the global economy arising from impact of the pandemic, Africa is already significantly left behind in achievement of the SDGs. However, all hope is not lost as preliminary findings from our research and revelation from UNIDO Global Call show that although there are limited tools for innovation, what we call “the-intention-to-innovate” in Africa is very high. This conference is part of our intercontinental engagement series in feeling the pulse of innovation as we trudge towards contributing our quota to agenda 2030’s aspirations of ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring peace and prosperity for all. This is because if the SDGs succeed everywhere else but fail in Africa, humanity has collectively failed to actualize our focus which is "that none be left behind".
Organizers:
The conference has been put together by the Organization of African Academic Doctors (OAAD) in Collaboration with Wasomi Charity Foundation (WCF).

Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa: a Webinar
2023-02-12 13:00 - 15:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
The African economy offers a wealth of opportunities for growth and development and becoming increasingly important as a part of the global economy.
With 1.3 billion people (majority being young people) and growing middle class, the continent is experiencing high rates of economic growth, with several countries emerging as new centers of economic activity. Africa has the potential to become a major player in global trade and investment, as it seeks to integrate more deeply into the global economy.
These factors highlight the importance of African economy in the global context and the need for continued investment and development in the region.
Some of the key opportunities in the African economy include:
1.0 Agriculture: Africa has fertile land and a growing demand for food, making agriculture a potential driver of economic growth.
everyevery.ng
2.0 Natural resources: Africa is rich in minerals, oil, and other natural resources, and there is growing demand for these resources globally.
3.0 Technology: Africa is home to a rapidly growing tech sector, with many innovative startups and a large, young population with a strong appetite for technology.
citinewsroom.com
4.0 Tourism: Africa is home to diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes, making it a potential tourist destination.
However, there are also several challenges that need to be addressed in order to fully realize the potential of the African economy, including:
1.0 Infrastructural Deficiencies: inadequate infrastructure, such as roads, electricity, and water supply, can hinder economic growth and development.
2.0 Corruption: Although Africa is not alone in this, corruption remains a significant problem in many African countries and undermines the overall business environment.
3.0 Political instability: Just like anywhere else, political instability and conflict can disrupt economic growth and discourage investment.
4.0 Lack of human capital: Many African countries lack the adequately educated workforce/skills needed to support a growing and modern economy.
Despite these challenges, there is growing optimism about the future of the African economy and its potential for growth and development in the coming years. The following are some ways forward for Africa to participate well in a booming Global Digital Economy.
1.0 Innovation in education, skills, and entrepreneurship is crucial for participating in the global digital economy.

2.0 Entrepreneurship needs to be promoted to encourage the creation of new businesses that can drive innovation and economic growth in the digital era.
We welcome your support and participation in working with major organizations in Africa.
