She stated that “focus must now be channelled to creating scalable and sustainable business models that not only drive economic growth but also, generate positive social impact in the continent.”
She advocated that meaningful conversations from these meetings must leave room to the local actors and rural communities for implementation and periodic impact assessment if we would achieve the continent’s objectives of economic growth and social stability.
Reflecting on her experience at the summit, Obi remarked, “The Africa Social Impact Summit 2024 provided a critical platform for exchanging ideas and developing actionable strategies for sustainable development. It is inspiring to see the collective commitment towards reimagining progress in Africa, and I am optimistic about the collaborative efforts we can undertake to achieve sustainable growth.”
“Our organisation PPC Limited is committed to implementing the ideas and strategies discussed at the summit, and would continue integrating sustainable practices into our operations and community initiatives,” she added.
