Why we advocate
Through expertise derived from within the membership, strategic alliances and representation within private sector platforms, the CEOrt is a pillar of thought leadership and delivers collaborative advocacy efforts on cross-cutting, overarching issues for positive and sustainable socio-economic impact.
As a way of exercising positive influence on government policy, leadership within the CEO Roundtable takes the initiative to organise dialogue meetings with a view to identifying the key obstacles to economic growth and developing solutions to the problems.
