Exclusive engagements each year
200+

Years of continuous dialogue
CEOrt hosts member-inclusive engagements with Government and Development Partners, and facilitates private-sector partnerships for sustainable development. Meetings are where the platform does its work: peer-to-peer engagement, learning, networking, leadership insight, knowledge sharing and advocacy — in one recurring forum rather than scattered across the year.
The monthly engagements each carry a thought leadership session on a topic critical to sustainable development, not just for the private sector but for the nation. Over fifteen exclusive engagements run annually, from knowledge forums and policy dialogues to the Annual Gala Dinner.
Twenty-five years on from its founding, that consistency is the asset: ministries, authorities and development partners know where to find the private sector, and know the same faces will be there next month.
Workstreams
Monthly member engagements
The standing forum where members meet Government, Development Partners and one another — each session anchored on a thought leadership topic.
Knowledge forums
Working sessions built around research, evidence and structured debate rather than presentation.
Public–private dialogue
A platform, now two decades old, for meaningful dialogue between Government, Development Partners and private-sector associations.
Networking and the Annual Gala Dinner
The convenings that build the relationships the rest of the work runs on.
