The meeting will facilitate a constructive dialogue with stakeholders to share insight into intelligence and knowledge on how to leverage the industry in creating economic opportunities for the private sector, build skills and create jobs and in general build on the resources to grow inclusive economies.

The main aspects to be discussed shall be how extractive industries have to be regulated so that other sectors, such as tourism and agriculture, are not endangered by them, as well as what opportunities extractive industries offer for other sectors to develop.
