The inaugural edition of Africa HR Forum, celebrated in the summer of 2020, was a pro-active solution identification platform that engaged stakeholders, including key decision-makers and government officials, operating in various key sectors that contribute towards the development of the African economy. The objective for the 2020 session was to understand the effects of COVID-19 on the African and EG business environment and its impact on key industries and subsequently outline measures to be implemented for the revitalization of these industries and ultimately the economy.
