The annual World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos begins today in Davos, a town in Switzerland that receives the high and mighty ion government, business, and media every year. This year, President William Ruto of Kenya and Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima will lead the Africa delegation. The annual will run for one week and the theme for 2024 is “Rebuilding Trust”. The Forum seeks to “build trust” into the future, within societies, and among nations. The Forum is held in 2024 amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions around the Russia / Ukraine war, the Isreal / Palestinin crisis, tightened financial conditions, global inflationary pressures, and China’s weak demand.
