The Ghana Wing of the Women in Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA), has organised an educational forum in Accra for women entrepreneurs on the Africa Continental Free Trade Area, (AfCFTA).
They did this in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) among other partners.
In addition to helping the women understand the free trade agreement, its benefits and requirements, the forum also served as an opportunity for these entrepreneurs to showcase their products, and be introduced to newer markets and WISTA’s wide network pool.
Jemilat Mahama is the Secretary of WISTA International and Former President of WISTA Ghana, said, “So through our colleagues’ other National associations these women will be given the platform, the leverage to also market their products and with such seminars they would have ideas. Women who are not even into business after this program and more yet to come will definitely come up with ideas”.
