The National Business Forum will now take place in the first quarter of 2025, following approval from Cabinet.
Permanent Secretary (PS) Riley Mesepitu confirmed that the forum was delayed due to the high number of activities and major events that took place in 2024.
However, the government has secured the necessary approval, and the event is now set to be held early this year.
“We had to ask the Minister to delay the event last year due to the packed schedule of activities. Now, Cabinet has approved the change, and we are planning to hold the National Business Forum during the first quarter of 2025,” PS Mesepitu said.
Mesepitu explained that the forum’s planning and coordination are ongoing, with discussions scheduled to take place in their upcoming Heads of Department (HOD) meeting.
The forum will be coordinated in collaboration with the Office of the Prime Minister.
“We are hoping to host the event during the first quarter of this year, and we have already secured a budget for it. Additionally, we are grateful for the support of some donor partners who are helping us,” he added.
