THE World Economic Forum on Africa has invited former first lady Maureen Mwanawasa to participate in this year's World Economic Forum to be held in Cape Town in June.
According to an invitation letter addressed to Maureen and jointly signed by forum director Katherine Tweedie and managing director Borge Brende, Maureen has been invited in her capacity as the founder of the Maureen Mwanawasa Community Initiative (MMCI).

This year's forum is being hosted under the theme ‘Uniting Africa's Champions’, and the agenda would focus on Africa's opportunities despite the global economic transformation.

“The agenda aims to highlight leaders in business and non-business endeavours whose example demonstrates the resilience and incisiveness required in changing world. We welcome your thoughts and guidance on this preliminary agenda,” the invitation read in part.

The forum also provides African and world leaders an opportunity to jointly address the strategic challenges that require multi stakeholder solutions.
