The Commonwealth Business Women Africa has urged African governments to prioritise women’s economic empowerment to drive sustainable development and growth across the continent.

This call was made in a communiqué issued on Friday after CBW Africa’s summit in Lagos, which brought together women entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and stakeholders from across Africa.

The communiqué, signed by CBW Africa Continental President, Mrs. Ngozi Oyewole, emphasised that empowering women is key to fostering economic progress.

“Women are not just participants, but leaders, innovators, and change-makers.

“There is the need for equal representation and participation of women across all sectors to overcome economic and social challenges,” the communique read.

The forum explored ways to create synergies between trade, health, wellness, technological advancement, the informal sector, and clean energy.
