Welcome to Day 2 of the #InformalityExchange! The beautiful Horn of Africa Regional Environmental Center serves as inspiration while we delve deeper into 8 cities' experiences of informality and resilience.
We need to appreciate, but also elevate and support the "informal" activities which help run our cities. We are responsible for providing support to elevate those active in the informal sector from just surviving, to thriving. #informalityexchange @AddisResilient
