The Issue Framing Papers informed key dialogues at the Evi4Dev 2025 Conference by providing evidence-based analysis on Africa’s development priorities. Among them, “Empowering Youth and Women Through SME Development”explored how data, innovation, and policy can transform small businesses into engines of inclusive growth. Meanwhile, “Creating Wealth Our Own Way (CWOOW)” emphasized local innovation, informal sector resilience, and strategic investments in research and development. Together, these briefs shaped conversations on building equitable, sustainable economies driven by African solutions.
