The policy advocacy skill is an essential component of business leadership as it empowers people to create consensus-based solutions to complex issues”, Faisal Manzoor, President Mirpur (AJK) Chamber of Commerce and Industry said.
“Such skills also enhance the ability of the business leaders to present their cases in a non-violent and structured manner before authorities and their constituencies”, Manzoor underlined while addressing a policy advocacy workshop organized by the Centre for Peace, Development and Reforms in collaboration with AJK Chamber of Commerce and Industry here Tuesday.
The participants of the workshop including office holders of the chamber and key business leaders shared their views and underlined the need to conduct more training sessions to enhance the trade union representatives’ negotiation and policy advocacy skills.
The business community has suffered the most during the Covid-19 lockdown but no concrete steps have been taken by the Government of AJK to support it, Faisal Manzoor said.
