The packed auditorium seating 540 participants drawn from global institutions in Development Cooperation discussed how to mobilize the small-scale private sector, particularly in neglected economic sectors such as the mining of Development Minerals. During the panel discussion, a short video was projected conveying the experiences and perceptions of four women with small businesses active in the Development Minerals sector.
