WELCOME
Realizing the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development hinges on placing women and children at the centre.
WOMEN IN SOCIAL ENTERPRISES
Unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit and leadership of women through social enterprises provides a unique opportunity to dismantle some of these barriers. Increasingly, women across Africa are playing prominent roles in harnessing the power of markets and business to tackle society’s greatest challenges. Social enterprises harness trade, investment and business activity towards social and environmental objectives, and are being recognized as critical drivers of innovation for sustainable development. Furthermore, by setting up and managing a business, women can achieve economic independence, overcome poverty through asset building and improve their well-being as well as that of their families and communities. For instance, research in three countries found that, compared with male business owners, women business owners hired 17 per cent more women employees.
