Africa–Canada Economic Mission: Connecting Local Authorities, Entrepreneurs, Investors and Institutions:
Alongside World Africa Day, Africa Femmes Performantes, Lève-toi et Brille and their institutional partners will convene an economic mission bringing together local authorities, entrepreneurs, investors and institutions. The mission aims to help open and expand Canada’s cooperation with Africa by creating opportunities for dialogue, presenting initiatives and building practical partnerships.
In connection with the work of the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, the mission will also support dialogue and initiatives that strengthen ties between people of African descent and the African continent, including work on reparations, reconnection, cooperation and unity.
Mission flow: Convene key partners → share economic priorities and initiatives → build partnerships → advance Canada–Africa cooperation.
