Vivacity Development Hosts Pre-CSW69 Webinar on Women’s Role in the Future of Work
With the sixty-ninth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) set to take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from March 10 to 21, 2025, the importance of raising awareness about women’s roles in shaping the global workforce cannot be overstated.
As part of the ongoing effort to empower women and drive lasting change, Vivacity Development will host a pre-event webinar on Thursday, February 13, 2025,the webinar is an opportunity to deliberate with young persons in Nigeria on their perspectives of the future of work for women While also exploring how women can leverage opportunities in the future of work.
The webinar will serve as a crucial platform for discussing how innovation, equity, and sustainability are shaping a more inclusive future for women. While significant progress has been made in increasing women’s participation in the workforce, systemic barriers still exist, preventing full representation in emerging industries. To create a work environment where women thrive, businesses must embrace technology-driven solutions, equitable policies, and sustainable practices.
The rapid advancement of digital technology has created new opportunities for women, from remote work options to AI-driven career development tools. Companies that invest in technology to support flexible work arrangements, skills training, and networking platforms enable women to balance their careers with personal responsibilities more effectively. Additionally, digital entrepreneurship is breaking down traditional structural barriers, allowing women to build and scale businesses with fewer limitations, thereby expanding economic opportunities on a global scale.
True gender equity in the workforce extends beyond closing the pay gap—it includes representation in leadership, access to mentorship programs, and eliminating unconscious bias in hiring and promotion. Organizations that prioritize gender-inclusive policies such as parental leave, fair hiring practices, and structured career development initiatives create workplaces where women can excel. Encouraging women’s participation in STEM fields and executive leadership roles is essential to ensuring diverse perspectives shape innovation across industries.
A truly inclusive workforce is also one that prioritizes sustainability. Companies committed to long-term gender equality invest in continuous learning, mental health support, and employee well-being. Furthermore, sustainable business practices—such as ethical supply chains and eco-friendly work environments—help create healthier and more inclusive workplaces for all employees. By fostering environments that prioritize work-life balance and long-term career growth, businesses contribute to a workforce where women can thrive and lead.
Shaping the Future of Work Together
Empowering women in the workforce requires a collective effort from businesses, policymakers, and society at large. By championing innovation, equity, and sustainability, we can build a future where women not only participate in the workforce but also lead and shape industries for generations to come. The future of work must be inclusive—because when women thrive, economies, communities, and societies flourish.
As the CSW69 conference approaches, Vivacity Development’s pre-event webinar will provide valuable insights and strategies for ensuring that women are at the forefront of the evolving workforce. This conversation is not just about preparing for the future—it is about creating a world where women have equal opportunities to succeed, innovate, and lead.

The Embassy of Algeria in Nigeria has commemorated the 72nd anniversary of the country’s Glorious Revolution of November 1, 1954, with a reception in Abuja, highlighting Algeria’s liberation struggle and strengthening diplomatic relations with Nigeria.
The event, held on November 9, 2026, at Continental Suites Hotel, attracted prominent personalities, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr Tajudeen Abbas, members of the Federal Government, senior government officials, heads of diplomatic missions and other friends of Algeria.
Speaking at the reception, Algeria’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Hocine Mezoued, welcomed guests and paid tribute to the country’s freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives during the struggle for independence.
He described the November 1, 1954 revolution as the foundation of modern Algeria, noting that the sacrifices of the nation’s martyrs made it possible for the country to reclaim its sovereignty.
On Algeria’s development agenda, Mezoued said President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s administration had continued to pursue economic reforms, diversification and national development under its New Algeria vision.
He noted that the country was recording progress in non-hydrocarbon exports, while improvements in the business environment had boosted investor confidence and attracted significant foreign investments.
On foreign policy, the ambassador reaffirmed Algeria’s commitment to non-interference, respect for national sovereignty, peaceful conflict resolution and the right of peoples to self-determination.
Addressing security challenges in the Sahel, he stressed that lasting peace could not be achieved through military measures alone, insisting that economic development, inclusive dialogue and peaceful resolution of disputes remained essential.
Turning to Nigeria-Algeria relations, Mezoued described the partnership as one founded on shared values and the commitment of both countries’ leaders to advancing African development.
He identified the Trans-Saharan Highway, Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline and Trans-Saharan Fibre Optic Backbone as major strategic projects receiving attention from both countries.
The ambassador also disclosed that Algeria had continued to provide scholarships to Nigerian students to strengthen human capital development and capacity building.
He further announced that Air Algérie expanded its Nigerian operations on October 26, 2026, with the introduction of two weekly flights to Lagos, expressing confidence that the service would boost trade and tourism.
Looking ahead, Mezoued said 2027 would offer fresh opportunities to deepen bilateral cooperation, particularly through the fifth Joint High Bi-National Commission scheduled to hold in Abuja.
He expressed optimism that the meeting would provide an opportunity to assess existing partnerships, identify new areas of cooperation and move Nigeria-Algeria relations towards a more practical and results-driven phase.
