The Vice President of Ghana, H.E Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed confidence that hosting delegations of top civil servants from across Africa in Accra, May 11-13th inside the Plush Kempinski Hotel, will help to strengthen the continent’s public sector leaders, often ignored in the leadership debate.
Vice President Bawumia is the chief host for the 3rd edition of the Africa Public Sector Conference & Awards (APSCA 2022) and Leadership Workshop with the theme: “Repositioning Africa’s Public Sector for Sustainable Development.”
Accra is headquarters of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and Africa Digital Economy Forum (ADEF); all of which offer a ready platform to support Africa’s need for a unified approach at addressing challenges of its public sector as the engine room to drive its development agenda, according to the Vice President, an economist and former central banker.
