The Association of African Business Schools (AABS) is currently implementing the project “Promoting Diversity and Equality” and is looking for volunteer experts with relevant experience, especially across African business schools. The project, with the support of the AABS Board-appointed Ad-hoc Committee Members, aims to build greater diversity and gender balance while supporting the
leadership of AABS member schools across the continent.

Through a dynamic of cooperation and exchange of ideas and innovative solutions, the core group of experts will help AABS promote a more inclusive environment within its network by providing practical and interactive tools and tips that are tailored for its members’ needs.

A green economy is defined as low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in employment and income is driven by public and private investment into such economic activities, infrastructure and assets that allow reduced carbon emissions and pollution, enhanced energy and resource efficiency, and prevention of the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. These green investments need to be enabled and supported through targeted public expenditure, policy reforms and changes in taxation and regulation. UN Environment promotes a development path that understands natural capital as a critical economic asset and a source of public benefits, especially for poor people whose livelihoods depend on natural resources. The noon of green economy does not replace sustainable development, but creates a new focus on the economy, capital, infrastructure, employment and positive social and environmental outcomes across Asia and the Pacific.

Business Forward, the knowledge portal of AUC School of Business, is starting off 2022 running a very exciting digital campaign that calls for the participation of the business community.
In recent years, and even more accelerated by COVID-19, there is a movement emphasizing the purpose and role of business in society to create values, ensure sustainable development, diversity, and stakeholder interests. However, in Egypt and this part of the world, literature about responsible business or corporate responsibility and documentation of its practice is very limited. It is often mistakenly associated with charity, philanthropy and public relations.
In this edition of “This is How I Moved my #BusinessForward”, in partnership with The Coca Cola Company and the Commercial International Bank (CIB), the objective is to build the narrative and awareness about corporate responsibility, highlighting positive examples that demonstrate responsible business conduct embedded in the vision and day-to-day operations of the business, rather than a one-off act.
Join to showcase how your business or company helped promote corporate responsibility over the past year. The call for participation is open until February 28, 2022. The campaign ends with the audience voting on the most inspiring stories and an awards ceremony in March 2022.

AUC School of Business Dean Sherif Kamel just released his new book titled Leading Change in Challenging Times: Lessons of Disruption and Innovation from Egypt –Thoughts, Observations, and Reflections.
This is a hybrid book—part memoir, institutional history, and inspirational business leadership advice. It is an evocative mix covering personal thoughts and reflections on Egypt, history, youth, the economy, leadership, innovation, management, entrepreneurship, society, and many other aspects that shape our lives.The book compiles a collection of insights on leading a business school in an emerging economy at a time of continuous social, political, and economic transformations.
The book reflects the sentiments of a passionate Egyptian who grew inspired by its history and attached to its cultural heritage and its resilient people––the descendants of one if not the greatest civilization. The book’s underlying theme is the profound belief that Egypt remains uniquely positioned as the land of unparalleled opportunities and that it can become an intellectual, cultural, economic, and geopolitical powerhouse to reckon with in a dynamic and changing world.
