DepHUB participates at UNCTAD e-Week, 2023: Shaping the future of the digital economy
In collaboration with a number of organisations, the DepHUB's Shamira Ahmed participated at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) E-Week, hosted in Geneva and online from 4 to 8 December 2023.
The theme for the 2023 edition, ‘Shaping the future of the digital economy’, was addressed through the focus on three questions:
What does the future we want for the digital economy look like?
What is required to make that future come true?
How can digital partnerships and enhanced cooperation contribute to more inclusive and sustainable outcomes?
The two sessions were:
"Shaping the Future: Harnessing E-commerce for Sustainable Development in the ECOWAS Region", based on the ECOWAS E-commerce Strategy.
