The Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (AWIEF) and the Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (AFAWA) initiative of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) have entered into significant collaboration to bridge the financial gap encountered by women in business.

Themed “Solutions Catalysing Increased Access to Capital for the Success of Women Entrepreneurs”, the partnership births a programme that seeks to stimulate efforts to address gender inequality and drive inclusive economic transformation.

More than 500 growth-oriented WSMEs will be supported for scale, access to markets, and investment readiness across 8 African countries: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, Rwanda, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.
