account;
23.
Highlights the vital role of the private sector in generating new investments,
job opportunities and financing for development and in advancing efforts towards the full
realization of the right to work and the promotion of inclusive, sustained economic growth,
full and productive employment and decent work for all, noting the multi-year strategy of the

organizations;
25.
Underscores that there is an urgent need to create an environment at the

an environment that supports investment, growth and entrepreneurship is essential to the
creation of new job opportunities for women and men, and reaffirms that opportunities for
all to obtain productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity
