Women’s entrepreneurship
Africa is home to 6 of the 10 fastest growing economies globally, according to a World Economic Forum report. Coupled with an unprecedented population growth rate, Africa is set to become the hotspot for innovative businesses globally. Important to this development is the growth of the private sector and the rise of women entrepreneurs within the continent. While general conditions for entrepreneurship are improving across African businesses, empirical research shows that women entrepreneurs face particularly more difficult barriers to their business growth.
It has become expedient to provide development opportunities for women entrepreneurs in order to bridge the gap and create more opportunities for business sustainability. We will leverage the AFCFTA( African Continental Free Trade Area) in collaborations with the African Union to foster African trade through global partnerships.
This program will enable global coaching engagements between global women who are entrepreneurs. Partnerships will be fostered amongst our women entrepreneurs to enable collaborations for growth in their respective home countries.
