Unlocking Jobs in fragile and conflict contexts: Roundtable on Catalyzing Private Investments

Thursday, Oct 16, 2025 | 10:30 AM - 11:45 AM

Location: MC 2-800

Description:This will be a conversation on creating jobs in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCS) by unlocking domestic private enterprise. Jobs-especially for youth and marginalized groups-help stabilize communities and build resilience. The discussion will look at practical ways to tackle common barriers-weak rule of law, limited capacity, small markets, informality, and security risks-and how to work with private actors who are operating in the FCS/FCV context. Bringing together government representatives, private sector partners, and WBG practitioners, the event will highlight ways to de-risk investment, strengthen local markets, and crowd in finance-transitioning from short-term support to durable, private-sector-led growth. *Watch Event|https://meetingslogin.worldbank.org/en/asmeeting/event-detail/ems1895740*
