Opening statement by Mr. Carlos Lopes, AEC 2014: Ninth African Economic Conference
Opening statement by Mr. Carlos Lopes United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of Economic Commission for Africa on the Ninth African Economic Conference. The continent is aiming for inclusive and sustainable growth that leads to the uplifting of each and every single African: we want simple households to be capable of building wealth, whether by establishing a competitive small business or by plugging into an industrialization drive. For this to happen, we have to upgrade skills and make them responsive to the employment demands. This means that workers must acquire a range of skills in order to meet the requirement to grow and learn continuously. At present, the world thrives in a learning economy.
