Increasing consumer awareness on human and labor rights, investment requirements on ESG performance, and a growing number of due diligence laws, require human rights expertise and new management skills. Students are demanding that business schools adapt to these developments.

The International Labor Organization, GBSN for BHR, and the University of Geneva joined forces to create teaching resources that integrate human rights in management education and equip students with the skills to navigate complex supply chains and operating environments responsibly.

The teaching resources are ready-to-use modules that include presentation slides and accompanying teaching notes, background readings, and teaching experiences from lecturers who have discussed the topic from different perspectives. They are available open source and require no prerequisites from lecturers or students. The resources can be adapted for different regions and class levels.

ABCC Kick-Off Event 2022

Join us in celebrating the kick-off of this year’s Africa Business Concept Challenge! Throughout the event we discuss the overview of the competition, hear a few tips, important competition information, and teams receive guidance from judges for their developing projects, centering the factors that would make a project effective within their community and high-scoring in the competition.

A few gems from the event included Judge Joanne Mwangi-Yelbert, CEO of the PMS Group Ltd in Kenya’s suggestion: “It needs to be a solution for the same old problem, but a different approach. Which has to be replicable, scalable, must be easier, faster, and cheaper. That’s the only way that it will be effective for their community.” and Judge Austin Okere, founder of the Computer Warehouse Group PLC in Nigeria notice that “People think that entrepreneurs as people that are looking for spaceships solutions, no, especially in Africa where the problems are basic. Any solution that solves a problem in a way that enables you to have that impact and is commercially sustainable; you are the entrepreneur.”

If you weren’t able to celebrate live with us, please enjoy the full playback recording at your leisure!
