Services: Expanding the service economy.
ICT: Leveraging technology for job creation.
2. Bridging the Generational Gap
A significant portion of the rally focused on the "Gen Z" and "Post-NRM" generations. Clergy and youth leaders prayed for a "bridge between the old and the new," asking for a language that articulates the next conversation of leadership for those born after 1986 [20:26], [21:51].
