The 2020 African Economic Conference ended on an upbeat note on Thursday as the continent’s leading researchers, economists and other experts called for a united approach to beating the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting called on the private sector to take up the opportunity to fill the gap to direct investments to meet the critical needs of the continent. “Though it has been challenging, COVID-19 has given Africa the opportunity to rethink development paradigms, reimagine the future, reposition the private sector, and reassess the way we utilize technology,” said Raymond Gilpin, Chief Economist and Head of the Strategy, Analysis and Research Team, at the United Nations Development Programme. “For too long we have seen how the private and public sectors have worked in opposite directions. There is a huge opportunity to work more closely.”
