The forum comes at a decisive moment in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>an<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>effort to create a peaceful, prosperous future for<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Africa<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Businesses have been called to develop strategies for their long-term sustainability, even as they provide products and services to address the needs of their customers, their clients and their communities.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Opening the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Making Global Goals Local Business<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>forum, UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed noted that as governments across Africa develop economic stimulus packages, they must be cognizant of the micro, small and medium<\/span><\/span>–<\/span><\/span>sized enterprises who have suffered immense losses in terms of business closure and jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Addressing the private sector, she noted that<\/span><\/span>, \u201c<\/span><\/span>I urge the private sector to work together to drive sustainable investment, maintain access to international markets, put the brakes on corruption and strengthen support for small and medium sized enterprises<\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the C<\/span><\/span>OVID<\/span><\/span>-19 pandemic<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>raging<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>across Africa, the private sector and governments are working together to d<\/span><\/span>emonstrate strong<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>leadership and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>partnerships<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>As we enter further waves of the pandemic<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>w<\/span><\/span>e must make sure that the spirit of solidarity is not lost<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>as we move beyond COVID-19<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Sanda<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Ojiambo, Executive Director and CEO, UN Global Compact said during the opening plenary<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>Early this year,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Kenya<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Association<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of Manufacturers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in collaboration with the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Office of the Deputy President<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and Global Compact Network Kenya, launched the SDG Readiness Report<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>presenting opportunities for all industries to embrace new innovative ideas to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>fast-track<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>progress in realizing the global goals<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the gender equ<\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span>lity session, Jane<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Karuku<\/span><\/span>, CEO<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Kenya Breweries Limited highlighted the parent company, East African Breweries Limited<\/span><\/span>, pursuit to achieve gender parity by<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>2025.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In h<\/span><\/span>is remarks at the anti-corruption session,<\/span> <\/span>John<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Ngumi<\/span><\/span>, Board Chair, Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (ICDC) said, \u201c<\/span><\/span>In the public sector,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>there is need for<\/span><\/span>\u00a0brave men and women to take<\/span><\/span>\u00a0leadership<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and this has to be b<\/span><\/span>acked up by a high-level<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>commi<\/span><\/span>tment<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to step up and fight corruption\u201d.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Samuel Kimeu, Board Member<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the African Union A<\/span><\/span>dvisory Board Against Corruption<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>echoed,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>T<\/span><\/span>here is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>need for a collaborative effort that brings together the private sector, civil society and media to effectively<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>fight<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>corruption in the continent.<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now more than ever, the ten principles of the UN Global Compact covering human rights,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>labour<\/span><\/span>, the environment and the fight against corruption, are more relevant and critical in laying the foundation for strong and resilient businesses. As the pandemic lingers these principles can help businesses maintain their standing in society and guide them towards sustainable and purposeful recovery.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
