My goal is to ensure that Africa’s perspectives, innovations, and unique opportunities are part of this global dialogue.”

Through the council, Eneje will contribute to developing global best practices while promoting solutions that reflect the realities of emerging markets. These include issues of digital infrastructure, access, and inclusive models of retail growth.
