Description

Women are key stakeholders in Africa's economic development as they make up 70% of the continent's informal traders.


In this episode, we will explore how women-led small business can benefit from intra-African trade through the implementation of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). We are joined by  Myra Engelmann, Proprietor of Pofeyster investment, a company engaged in exporting beadwork products made by women from the pastoral communities across Africa. She seeks greater integration of bead workers in the access of international markets.
