In late 2026, the SEPHIS Foundation is scheduled to organize the 7th International Forum for Female Leadership under the theme ‘Builders of Economies.’ The event aims to support women entrepreneurs by addressing barriers to financing, markets, and business structuring to increase female ownership in the formal sector. Additionally, the International Forum of Analytical Sciences and Quality Control (FISACQ) is set for late September 2026, focusing on food security, health, and scientific solutions for economic competitiveness. This coincides with efforts by the State-Private Sector Consultation Committee (CCESP) to improve financial inclusion for agroforestry companies through better access to credit, insurance, and digital payments. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-01: Abidjan to host food security forum and agroforestry financial inclusion workshop Abidjan will host the 2026 FISACQ forum on food security and health, while the CCESP holds workshops to improve financial inclusion and digital payment solutions for agroforestry businesses. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/abidjan-to-host-food-security-forum-and-agroforestry-financial-inclusion-workshop ### 2026-08-31: Côte d’Ivoire to host 7th International Forum for Female Leadership in 2026 The 7th International Forum for Female Leadership (FILF) will be held in Abidjan in December 2026 to support women entrepreneurs in Côte d’Ivoire by addressing gaps in financing and market access. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cte-divoire-to-host-7th-international-forum-for-female-leadership-in-2026 --- Cite as: Economic and professional development forums in Côte d’Ivory.
