This follows the national conference that the Parti Lepep held recently and where it was recommended that young professionals have a voice.

According to a communiqué from the party, the Equator Institute will act as an independent think tank and advisor to the Parti Lepep and the government of the day on national and international issues, in line with the principles and objectives of Parti Lepep.

“It will also be the forum for constructive dialogue among professionals and the promotion of professional development in Seychelles,” the communiqué said.

Around 600 young professionals from Mahe, Praslin and La Digue are expected to attend the event, which will be held at the International Conference Centre.
