This is the second session in the Womanomics Africa™ Entrepreneur Guide to the AfCFTA Series. Each session in the series is designed to provide context facilitating answers to pertinent questions being raised by women entrepreneurs on leveraging and participating in trade on the continent under the Free Trade Area. This session was anchored by Lebo Biko, co-founder of Womanomics Africa™ , and she was joined by Trudi Hartzenberg, Executive Director of tralac, Marie Providence Mugangu, Gender and Trade Expert at the AfCFTA Secretariat and Claudia Furriel, Director for NEPAD/AU at the dtic. Together they unpacked:
- What is the AfCFTA and how does it relates to other trade agreements on the continent?
- What the AfCFTA unlocks for the African female entrepreneur?
- What the incentives or accelerators in place are that will support the successful implementation of the Area?
- How the AfCFTA opportunity can be translated for women to not only engage but also become significant participants – enjoying equal share of revenue?
Watch and listen in for this insightful, practical conversation.
