Abstract
The presentation will paint the picture of a journey undertaken by the company with social collaborators using the socio-economic compact model as a lever to elevate the development agenda. We will be sharing a case study on the journey walked thus far, how we have managed to get the area of focus to be seen as a development destination of choice and the SD impacts.
