The Forum of Young Global Leaders' commitment to: - Sponsoring a film series on African Success Stories, - Launching a financial literacy programme in Rwanda, - Establishing leadership development institutes throughout Africa. Managing Director of the World Economic Forum, Peter Torreele, concluded the plenary by praising the economic and social progress in Africa over the past ten years, an achievement he described as "absolutely outstanding."
"Throughout all of this, our belief has been that by bringing business together with governments and civil society, those partnerships could unlock Africa's great potential, and would allow the continent to assume its proper role in the global economy," Torreele said.
