What We Do

Across Africa, women continue to face a myriad of challenges that hinder their capacity to fully benefit from international trade. Acute development challenges that bedevil the continent, including inadequate infrastructure, limited productive capacities and limited access to finance continue to hinder women’s economic empowerment, and consequently widen the gender inequality gap. AWiGT offers a variety of business development solutions which are tailor-made to address the specific capacity gap faced by our members.
