‘Why more women roles key for economy’

Partners working in the area of women’s economic empowerment have advocated for increased women’s participation in the economy.

The workshop is organised by the development Research and projects Centre (dRPC), under the Partnership For Advancing Women Economic Development (PAWED) and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the 3-day capacity building workshop for women economic groups in Nigeria is supported by EpiAfric, Yellow Brick Road, Albright Stonebridge Group, and the HIVE.

According to the Executive Director, dRPC, Dr Judith-Ann Walker, represented by the Director Projects, Dr Stanley Ukpai, the capacity building workshop is necessary in view of the significant contribution of women in the nation’s economy, but despite that, they still constitute a meagre percentage in real economic spaces in the country.

A representative of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mrs Bosun Solarin, Chairman, charged the government on the closure of gender gaps for women’s access to property, finance and decent work, which are critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
