Since 2017, The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed June 27 as Micro and Small and Medium-Sized Business (MSME) Day to raise public awareness of their importance in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). On Monday 26 June 2023, the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific (OACPS), in close consultation with the European Commission (EC), will be hosting a webinar under the Joint Private Sector Development Strategy. This initiative is aimed at promoting the fair participation of businesswomen in driving innovation, creating jobs, contributing to economic growth and sustainable development across Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific.
