Participants are seeking ways to help women entrepreneurs and traders make greater use of the African market. The roadmap is intended, in particular, to improve their access to markets and their participation in cross-border trade.
The meeting is being held under the theme “Unlocking the economic potential of women in Central Africa to accelerate the inclusive implementation of the AfCFTA”.
