The special adviser to the president on job creation and MSMEs, Office of the Vice President, Mr Temitola Adekunle-Johnson, will serve as the host country coordinator and secretary of the committee.

The AU MSME forum was initiated as an annual event by the African Union Commission (AUC) as a strategy to empower Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises, develop intra-African value chains, and bolster regional trade.

While hosting rights are rotated among African member countries, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Namibia, respectively, have hosted the forum’s first three sessions since its introduction in 2022.
