The congress will have on its agenda the need for fundamental economic reform.

At the congress, Ms Touray will also take part in the gender seminar which is for young political activists from all countries who are active in gender issues.  Ms Touray noted that her participation in the gender seminar will bolster her morale as a young but active gender activist.
