4. SOUNDBITE (English) Fatou Haidara, Deputy to Director General and Managing Director Global Partnerships and External Relations, UNIDO:
“This is the fifth World Entrepreneurs Investment Forum. The private sector has a critical role to play when it comes to economic development. And especially in the developing world, MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) play a critical role in terms of value addition, in terms of job creation. I read that 60-70 percent of the jobs are created by SMEs. So this shows the importance of such gathering, not only for the private sector, but also for all the actors, policy-makers, academia, investment and financial institutions, to get together to see how we can accelerate the implementation of SDGs.”
