Mr Chuma will among other key sessions participate in the session on Jobs for Women and Young People- Transformative potential of young people as well as the session on Jobs for African Youth – From Demographic Dividend to Economic Dividend.
He is also expected to hold strategic meetings with the Vice President of Zambia, UN Country team, workers and employer’s organizations as well as ILO’s key cooperating partners.
